Editorial Reviews and Product Descriptions
Product Description
This Danish duo have re-emerged with an album that perfectly distills the band's 60s noir-pop songcraft and fuzz-guitar clamor into a melodic, sensuous voyage through the layers of desire. Showcasing a broader stylistic pallete and a newly cinematic sense of drama, on "Lust Lust Lust", the band retains the unique, compelling combination of sexy pop songs and rock 'n' roll urgency that have made them critics' darlings. Features two North America-only bonus tracks. Vinyl includes a bonus 7-inch and full digital album download. Already dubbed "one of the first great new albums coming out in 2008" - The Tripwire.

Six years after making their distortion-drenched debut with the Whip It On mini-album, the Raveonettes' passion for rock & roll fundamentals remains undiminished. The Danish duo's third full-length release once again celebrates black leather and white noise, saccharine sweet harmonies and sinister verses, and, most of all, the Ronettes' sense of order and the Jesus and the Mary Chain's taste for chaos. But give Sune Rose Wagner and Sharin Foo credit for keeping things fresh even when using well-worn parts. The dreamy "Aly, Walk with Me" and stomping "You Want the Candy" feature loping grooves, scratchy guitars and the Velvet Underground's patented tin-can production style, yet like the rest of the full-throttled tunes that make up the disc sound defiantly modern. The Raveonettes may remain immune to fashion but their style gets better every year. --Aidin Vaziri

The Raveonettes - Lust Lust Lust 7/10 - Reviewed on 2008-08-10
4 customers found this review helpful, 1 did not.
Coming off the heels of their sole major-label record, Pretty In Black, many thought that the Danish couple of Sharin Foo and Sune Rose Wagner would continue the commercial, 50s-pop-fixation of that record. However, with their switch back to an indie label, Lust Lust Lust arrives as a ringing endorsement of their older, fuzz-guitar noise rock.
Opener "Aly, Walk With Me" starts off with a slick drumbeat and a guitar that threatens to overcome the track with reverb. Foo's and Wagner's androgynous vocals are a highlight of the whole record, floating along smoothly in sharp contrast to the bursts of raw noise that the Raveonettes specialize in.
Those same effects, however, are often a detriment to the band's sound, as is apparent in the annoying static effect in "Sad Transmission" and "Expelled from Love," sometimes sounding like you're listening to the band play on a distant AM station located somewhere underground.
Overall, Lust Lust Lust is a strong continuation of the band's pop/noise blend that can at once be sweetly enchanting and nostalgic while still sounding unmistakably fresh.
