Let's get the negatives out the way. The Daft Punk influence is overwhelming at times, and there are a few average tracks on this album. But for a dance music artist album (remember how bad these often are) it is still exceptional. If you are going to model yourself on someone, Daft Punk isn't a bad place to start. Rock musicians are allowed influences without people griping, and let's not forget the whole point of dance music in the first place was to sample and reshape what was already there. Also, most people who have made good dance music in the last ten years have had some sort of DP influence stirred in.
As for the production style, anyone who says it's cheap is an idiot - the mix of low fi and hi fi is completely deliberate. Also, the combination of danceability and musical complexity is impressive. Yes, it might be challenging at times, but it's not exactly Aphex drill and bass, is it? What makes it different, possibly unsatisfying to the disco zombies amongst us, is that it's not always loop-based. So tracks might start in one place but... oh God... end up... somewhere else! Wow - how pretentious. Let's shoot them before they do it again.

A schizophrenic and typically French mixture of choppy beats and fractured, processed sound. When it works, as on the stunning opener "Genesis" and the stomping closer "One Minute To Midnight" it's the equal (if not the better) of the best of contemporaries Mirwais and Daft Punk. The clipped and arrythmic Genesis is one of the best Parisian dance tracks I've yet heard, and the production has incredible depth and impact. However, when the music doesn't work it's confusing, irritating and even embarrassing. This is most often on the vocal tracks where there is either just too much going on in the mix(DVNO) or the vocal is annoying and the lyrics puerile (The Ppaarrttyy, D.A.N.C.E.). Definitely worth buying for the five or so decent tracks - just have the skip button ready for the ones you don't like.

It may have been mentioned already, but Daft Punk, take note, this is how Human After All should have been.
You can't ignore the daft punk influence present on this album, but its done very well, and isn't just a rip off either.
There's variety too with the radio friendly D.A.N.C.E.
Fav track would the awsome opener Genesis.
If you was left wanting after daft punk's latest lp, purchase this asap.

Pure Justice!
Having first listened to 'Audio, Video, Disco', I thought I knew what Justice were all about. I was wrong. This is Justice at its best!

Excellent
This is definitly one of the best electro albums I've heard.
But regarding the product itself, it came in 5-6 days, wrapped in a paper case and in bubble wrap. Read more

Fine Electro
Whoever likes Daft Punk combined with a few harder rhythms likely will love Justice, but comparisons like this could also be misleading. Read more

Buy it!!
If you're looking, just buy it!! It's a fantastic euro-electro album, with crowd pleasing funky songs like DANCE, to the cheeky Tthhee Ppaarrttyy, with some darker tracks that take... Read more

Biblical
'Genesis' is an absolute monster of an electro song. Hook-laden, hard-hitting and as unrelentingly funky as anything Daft Punk have done. Read more
