Oh My god. What's GUS GUS DOING?!. They return with a mediocre album full with musical experiments that even after a couple of plays still hurt my ears. Don't even try dancing to it, coz people will declare you crazy. Most of the stuff is off-beat, and some vocals sound really false. Out of 12 tracks, to me only track 4) Need in Me, 5) Lust, 8) Sweet Smoke, and 11) Moss will ever return in my itunes playlist again. The rest of the tracks is very disappointing to me. Which is too bad since the female singer has a beautiful voice that really isn't given too much credit on the cd at all. I own Gus Gus' previous cd's as well, and meanwhile - till their next album comes out -, i'll keep spinning those instead and skip this 'gus gus - forever'. Save your money, look elsewhere.

Gusgus have returned to the fold after 2002's Attention. Like that release, Forever, mines the dance scene for its tracks once again. Like Attention, when I first played it, it was OK, but with repeated plays, has gone up in my estimations.
For me, the interest in Attention started to peter out after around the sixth track with the remainder being inconsistent. That inconsistency is spread throughout Forever. Whilst when the tracks are done well, they are done brilliantly (for me, You'll Never Change is an album highlight), some are just a little too repetitive for my liking (I am thinking of the track Porn, in particular). Interestingly, there is a track, Lust, which is given in a live and studio version - the live version is so much better showing off what Gusgus do live. Haveing been to a Gusgus concert on the Attention tour, I can attest that the live Gusgus experience is everything live dance music should be about. In the studio, however, some of those dynamics are lost, so whilst Forever is a good album (and I would much rather listen to it than anything in the charts these days), it is not truly great.
For true Gusgus greatness, refer to their first album, Polydistortion, and if you can get it, Mix@Respect. The latter is very hard to get but is truly amazing, fully documenting the highs of the live Gusgus sound.

This Album is incredible and worth the wait. Good to have them back. I heard a Promo of this and some of the singles from it. First single 'Moss' is being hammered by Pete Tong. The Album has some beutiful moments mixed in with some techno and has some quite obscure sounds that only GusGus seem to manage to get. The UK Version has a 2nd disc of Remixes and bonus tracks.

DISAPPOINTED!
As gus gus seem to shy away from the "indie" tag, so do they also shy away from originality. This unfortunately is their worst album so far! Read more

Not bad not bad
It's so hard (well for me) to find a decent dance album, where, when I put it on the feet start tapping and the body follows. This is one of those. Read more
