If ever a title truly belonged to an album, then this is it. References to love through The Raveonettes’ back catalogue have been almost right–-and quite in line with pop music’s staple lyrical source, boy meets girl and so on thereafter, a cliché they’ve embraced wholeheartedly–-but their temperament has always been so much more immediate and passionate; percussion to shake the floor, distortion to make you see stars and overflowing 60s boy/girl harmonies to run through impulsively like summer rain. It's sweetness vs. the big noise, girl next door drawn to guy from wrong side of the tracks, that sort of thing. Lust Lust Lust just about covers it, actually. And after a fleeting dalliance with starker arrangements and variable song formulas on the hit and miss Pretty in Black they have returned dramatically to their reliable, urgent best. "Ally, Walk with Me" emerges from a dark, hypnotic swagger evocative of Xtrmntr era Primal Scream before descending into a spiralling welter of unforgiving feedback, yet still clings onto their own established icy demeanour–-a trick they’re adapt at by now having based much of their career on a standard Jesus & Mary Chain template, one they return to as "Hallucinations" gets going, on the surf guitar enhanced "Dead Sound" and the unavoidably gleaming and gorgeous "Blush". They drop the tempo for a Velvet Underground nod on the reverb heavy "Expelled from Love", but we can probably safely say it’s vintage Raveonettes too, because it is. All of it. --James Berry

i've always been a fan of the raveonettes and have been looking forward to their third album very much,but i didn't expect it to be even better than their previous releases!
it still has the band's typical sound but at the same time it sounds fresh and interesting,with a couple of songs definitely being as good as their classic "love in a trashcan" and "that great love sound".
i would recommend this not only to raveonettes fans but also to people who haven't heard them before,this album will definitely capture their hearts

The Raveonettes made me very, VERY nervous in their last album. It was poppier and smoother than their past noisy, fuzzy rock'n'roll. I was afraid they were losing their edge.
Well, fortunately they haven't. Now attached to Fierce Panda, the Danish band turns "Lust Lust Lust" into a sensual, stormy blend of pop and fierce, eerie fuzz-rock -- basically all their sounds thus far. And with a title like that, you know it'll be sexy and dark in its tones.
A flicker of ringing keyboard, bells, and a slow steady beat and slow retro riff. "Aly, walk with me in the summer/Aly walk with me/Aly walk with me in Portland," Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner sing together. Their meandering song of dreams, walking, cities and summertime are interrupted by spurts of ringing, fuzzy guitar, as if the instruments are determined to have the spotlight.
They strike a softer chord with the eerie, tinny-ringing "Hallucinations," before launching into a series of similar songs -- there's lots of raw, stormy rockers tinged with sparkles and quiet moments, and sensual retro ballads that sound like they were lifted from an urban neo-noir movie.
There's even a few pop songs, like the Velvet Undergroundian "You Want The Candy" -- as with the VU songs, methinks that title needs no translation. And like the VU, it's wrapped in layers of bouncy, fuzzy guitars.
"Lust Lust Lust" has much the same sound as "Chain Gang Of Love," the Raveonettes' second album. But this time around, they have more experience and polish -- and thankfully, less poppiness than the sprightly, radio-friendly "Pretty in Black." Thank God, Columbia is off their backs and their older sound is back.
Their musical maturity can be heard in almost every song.... Read more ›

I have always been a big Raveonettes fan since 'Whip it On', this album has not let me down, beautiful, sweet harmonies from Sune and Sharin backed by dark, sleazy rock guitar melodies, opening track 'Aly, Walk with me' a perfect example of this, all tracks on this album are excellent with the possible exception of 'With my eyes closed' my least favourite. I thought they couldnt top 'Pretty in Black' But they definately have, Also well worth checking out live, their harmonies are as perfect as you hear on the cd's and Sune's guitar playing rocks!
