Synopsis

Amazon.com
As another slab of exceedingly danceable, electro-laden funk, the Lo Fidelity Allstars' Don't Be Afraid of Love makes for addictive listening, whether you've already learned How to Operate with a Blown Mind or not. The moody opening track, "What You Want," certainly gets the party started, but it does little to set the tone for the rest of the album. Clashing guitars give way to Lisa Millet's emotive vocal on the Balearic "Lo-Fi's in Ibiza" and from there on in, it's hooky samples, pure Vocoder soul, and familiar, frenetic acoustics all the way. On the heels of their On the Floor at the Boutique compilation, this release will leave you feeling anything but low. --Ruby Tuesday

CD Reviews

I wanted to love this cd

"What happened to the Allstars since "How to Operate With a Blown Mind"? What happened to the overwhelming fast, intense, dark, futuristic sound of this band? Why have they gone soft? I miss the lyrics most of all, they were a huge part of this groups sound. I mostly listen to electronic, mostly breaks and drum + bass, and just hate the mellow soft stuff, too boring. I wouldn't say that this new cd is bad though. I am just disappointed, and compared with How to Operate I think this cd is definetely lacking."

"So wrekked train is gone. Their 'morbid' poetry is gone. Their mindless rough beatings of musicality in general is gone. What Lo fi replace it with, however, is something so diverse one can only respect them. Critiquing this album would be simple and worthless - but so would be critiquing the first album. Honestly - what made the Allstars allstars? Their difinitive style... and it's still here, folks. Quality artists will always be quality artists. The Allstars will always rock out to anything they can get their greedy little fingers spinning. The hardcore hip-hop edge is gone from this CD but it is replaced with an eclectic blend of dance, R & B and funky grooving action that will leave you in a stupor. Wipe that drool off your chin, junior, Lo Fi's still got it."
Lo-Fi....doesn't have a comeback...

"I bought this CD when i was just into really pure techno stuff...
and fatboy slim...anyways...
i walked into my local sam goody and saw these guys on a rack, and i had seen the name from the Skint records site, and listened to their loop on there, and i was all...hey, those guys could be pretty good!
so i bought the cd, and was all "HEY! what is this? it has LYRICS!" the only song i really dug was 'dark is easy' cos it had plenty of turntable scratching.
anyways, i put it away for a few weeks (or months) don't remember...
and then i stuck it back into my cd player and was astounded by the sound. (heh, funny!)
it was put in the #2 slot in my cd case, ('cos i ALWAYS had my cds with me no matter where i was. even in my BASEMENT!) but after fatboy slim. geez he has neat music.the beats are always great and lo-fi, the vocals always vocoded, and all the songs feel complete.so in conclusion...if you're into JUST techno, you probably shouldn't get this cd, but if you're into ALL genres...doesn't matter. but if you're into lyrical techno, BUY THIS!!! RIGHT NOW!"
