This album is simply amazing....here it is 2005 ,and Im still listening to this 12 yr old gem. There is not one dull song on here... just energy and emotions,making the perfect dance album. The Sign was the beginning of the current Euro dance era(ian van dahl,lasgo,etc.)without this cd...there wouldnt have ever been the vocal dance/trance of today.

I have not been able to buy a dance artist's CD that I could play from "START TO FINISH" without getting bored and wanting to change tracks at some point.  This album is so brilliant that it's a MUST have for anyone's CD collection that can appreciate good beats and vocals with high energy!

I personally am a fan of the more industrial sounding TKK stuff but i must admit, this album blew me away! This album is an excelent dark dance album. Though rather disco-esque at times this album should please most people with an ear for music. Hell, I'm 15 and my mom likes the song ELECTRICAL SOUL WISH, when her favorite musicians are DON HENLEY and the great  ARETHA FRANKLIN. So buy it for the sake of this unsuccesful band.

I really love this dance record! It has a great feel and continuity along with great singing and lyrics (both fun and reflective). Great job. It'll stay on the playlist!

How can you not like this album? Even though Madtv joked about it being a 12 year old album. This album is truly her best. I saw the rhythm nation video, and they could have went a little more controversial,but decided to stay safe with just dancing. Wow, it's upbeat and i really love the title track to this album. It's defiantly down loadable. The Knowledge has very good up tempo beats as well. I even saw Michael Jackson say this was one of his favorite tracks of all time. Really the reason that helped this album to be such as breakthrough was for the fact that it almost seems like a female version of Michael Jackson. Which i think really helped put this album on the map. The commentary tracks in between this album are also very great as well. You get a real sense of what she's trying to accomplish on this album. Black Cat is also one of my favorite tracks of all time. I really think that she did a great job of crossing genres when she came out with this song. It's actually an excellent 80's rock song. And that helped her have great cross-over appeal.

Quite possibly one of the most listened to albums that I own. The beats are awesome on this and you can't help but dance around while it's on. Love it!

I bought this album in England and listened to it as my dance album of choice for two years.  When it was stolen from my car, I actually cried, thinking I could never get it again.  Then, I found it here, and I almost cried again.  It is GREAT!

This album is mind blowing.  I've had it for over 2 years and have never been sick of it.  It never gets old, every track I have loved at one time and not one have I ever disliked, this CD spends more time in my walkman more then all my other CDs combined.  Defiantly one of the best albums ever recorded.

Coming from LA this is one of the few good American electronica bands, most good ones coming from England.  It's an insult to call it techno, so I'll just call it electronica.

1. Trip Like I Do - 9/10 Ok well as the name says it's really trippy, with vocals from a message left on one of the band members message machines (no joke) and a good beat itis a strong song.

2. Busy Child - 10/10 This will easily become your first favorite song, though after a year I grew out of it it still is catchy and I love it to pieces.

3. Cherry Twist - 9.5/10 Bit of a weird intro, but its just such a cool song, it's so hard to describe these songs but just listen to it yourself!

4. Highroller - 10/10 Took me a while to like this song, repetition sort of drove me crazy, but it is such a mindblowing song I can't get enough of it now.  Radios love this song (and other TCM songs) for background or intros to radio shows, I hear it all the time.

5. Comming Back - 9/10 This song has alot more vocals then the others, its still a strong song, but not my favorite.

6. Keep Hope Alive - 10/10 This is the song that made them famous, written about police crackdowns on underground clubs it's amazing.  So many times I wonder what a Matrix fight scene would look like with this as the soundtrack.  Used in alot of trailers...

7. Vapor Trail - 9.5/10 This song you will never tire of, it's something about having a catchy tune, but not so catchy you tie of it.

8. She's My Pusher - 9.5/10 Much like Vapor Trail it's just a perfect song for relaxing, doing homework/work cause with no vocals it's not distracting.

9. Jaded - 9/10 This song can get a little annoying, but its still really cool...just listen to it.

10. Bad Stone - 1000/10 Seriously, I can't tell you how good this song is.  It's so beautiful, funny way to describe a song but it's true.  Honestly I must have heard this song over 1000 times, never tire of it, it's been played over 150 on ITunes and I've only had ITunes for 2 months.  This song alone is worth the price of the whole CD.

Overall, even if you aren't much of an electronica fan, BUY THIS CD, so many songs are great for just listening to, to relax to, or get some work done.

If you like this CD/band be sure to check out The Prodigy (a British band, 'Fat of the Land' is a GREAT CD), Chemical Brothers (another British electronica band), Propellerheads, Fatboy Slim and Lunatic Calm.

The Music press (in the UK), has been predicting the demise of Dance music, for some 2 years now, citing 'More varied musical tastes' & 'A lack of innovation' to blame for the diminishing sales of Dance albums.  And while Dance album sales certainly aren't as strong as they were several years ago, those willing to dig a little deeper for their dance music, will still find a thriving scene.

Enter 24-year-old "Myles MacInnes" (aka "Mylo"), who has taken the template of mainstream Dance music, and reinterpreted it, to fit within a retro/electro dance arrangement, that has the distinction of being one of the most accomplished (if not the best) mainstream dance albums of 2004.  Mylo makes the wise decision of not loading the album, with hard-hitting dance numbers, and instead fuses smooth electronica, with upbeat-electro & couple of big-beat/techno tracks.

"Sunworshipper", is gorgeous downtempo electronica, that is so simple in its creation, that its a surprise that it works so well.  Think smooth & elegant downtempo 'Nightmares on Wax' style electronica, with a looped dialogue sample (which seems to be from either a film or documentary), overlayed, and brought in & out of the mix. it doesn't actually build or climax into anything, but it's simplicity is so beautifully devised, its laughable.

"Drop The pressure", up the ante with full-on dance floor electro, that immediately stands out, due to its catchiness, that throws a hard hitting electro beat, that fluctuates in tempo, with a crowd please dialogue sample of:  "mother****ker's gonna crack under pressure".  (think prime-era "Chemical Brothers" dropping, a knowingly cool electro-number).

"In My Arms" again moves away from presenting the listening with relentless simplistic & thudding beats, and weaves a hypnotic disco spell chopping up a riff, and rearranging the pieces to form something closer to disco-house/funk hybrid.  Joyous, refreshingly different, and above all...funky as hell.

"Musclecars" leaps off the album with another slab of genuinely attention grabbing electronica, a sneaky little electro tune with woo-hoo-hoo-hoos and bleeps that sounds a bit like 'Royksopp', and therefore has that ability, to reach out to a wide audience, with something that seems to chime perfectly with people that don't usually like to electronica/Dance music.

A lot of this album is made up of ideas that in someway either reference, or give a knowing nod to music of a decade or two ago (especially 80's Pop/Rock).  Whether it being tracks to owe a little debt to "Prince" ("Guilty Of Love"), or taking retro-dance ideas from "Daft Punk" ("Otto's Journey"), you'll find that although the source material from which the ideas may not be original.  It's implementation represents itself in a reasonably innovate & refreshing way, and the electro/house feel running throughout the album is complementary to many moods.

Those that like their dance to be 'Underground' or consider themselves to be 'music enthusiasts', and generally avoid the sort of music, that would classify for 'Radio-play', would do well to give "Destroy Rock and Roll", a miss....and search for something a little more geared, to the 'Niche' market.  As "Destroy Rock and Roll", is a mainstream dance album that uses clever stealing of 80's/90's tracks/samples, and subtle electronica to reinterpret those sounds into something more palatable for todays more demanding/discerning listeners.  And manages to sit in that category of electronic/Dance albums such as:  ("Royksopp's - Melody A.M."), ("Moby's - "Play"), ("Air's - Moon Safari"), ("Daft Punk's - Discovery") & ("Zero 7's - "Simple Things"), as examples of albums that have that seriously broad appeal, and yet still remain fantastically unique albums in their own right.

To make a long review short, you don't have to like dubstep music to like this album, or to like Krewella. This is a great CD full of dance/electronic songs, and it is made for a very broad audience.
I hate dubstep - I think it just sounds like a bunch of noise...and it actually gives me a headache.
And while I will admit that there are about 2 songs on this album that DO have that dubstep sound, I would never categorize Krewella as dubstep music.
That being said, the melodies, vocals, and overall electronic-dance feels that you get from the songs on this album are phenomenal.
I would recommend this album (and I have) to almost anyone.
I've also seen Krewella live 3 times now, and they never fail to disappoint. It's safe to say that they are definitely one of my favorite artists.

I was going to give this album review 4 stars instead of 5 because there are songs on the album I don't like, but then I realized there are only 3 of them, and they are:
#3 Come & Get it
#8 Pass The Love Around
#12 This Is Not The End
Not saying these are terrible songs, but just the ones that I personally skip over.

When I first picked up this album, I listened to it not stop.  I bought both the instrumental album and the regular album on vinyl as well.  If you are a DJ and you want to hit some people with some tracks that will blow their mind, slap em with Deltron 3030.  Whenever I drop any of these songs at a gig, I always have people asking me about it.  The album is definitely at least ten years ahead of its time.  The beats are enough to blow your mind, but once you throw in some amazing lyrics from Del and some superb scratching by Koala it becomes an insane blend of talent and skill that you will not see duplicated for years to come.  I would recommend it to anyone.

I just love this album, I listen to it everyday and all my friends love it also. I saw the great concert at the House of Blues and it was awesome. This CD is non-stop dancing for everyone and I congratulate all the wonderful bellydancers who put it together. The previous bellydancers who are disrespecting this album are just jealous because they were not chosen to be part of this album. Don't listen to them, they don't know what real music is. Get this album!!! You will love it as much as I do!

Paul van Dyk, has perfected his sound and it is Ground breaking. I think i found my favorite dance cd ever. You have to go out and buy this cd as fast as you can.  I highly recomend this to anyone who likes to dance.

The albums Hed Kandi puts out rival those of Ministry Of Sound. Both superior powers in the dance music and this album is a perfect example of this. Dance tracks fill this album, as usual, and will fill your ears for several hours.

This album is a must have for the 80's child. Every song on this album is pure magic. Granted there are only 8 tracks on this album, the quality makes up for it.

Listening to this album brings me back to my early years. It's still relevant with todays dance music.

I'd have to say my favorite song is Hooked On You.  I just loved the synthasized beat to it.  When I listen to this album, I can not sit still!

It may be from the 80's, but it's deffinately worth having it in your music collection.

I love dance music. Unfortunately, it's hard to find dance music that's clean. The Shake It Up Soundtracks all deliver edgy music that's very enjoyable and CLEAN. (Well duh, it's Disney)

The first soundtrack Break It Down was ok, the second one Live 2 Dance, was AMAZING, and the third one, I <3 Dance, is EVEN BETTER. I like a large portion of the CD, but 4 songs stand out the most. "This Is My Dance Floor", "Beat Of My Drum", "Blow The System" and my personal favorite, "Sharp As A Razor".

"This Is My Dance Floor" is a catchy fun song that introduces the CD a lot better than "Contagious Love". This Is My Dance Floor has a fun dance/club beat to it and the stars of the show, Bella Thorne and Zendaya, sing in it. Neither of them are exceptional singers, but it works well. The only thing I don't like about the song is the fade out ending. I HATE FADE OUT ENDINGS. Other than that, very catchy and fun!

"Beat Of My Drum", sung by Zendaya, is catchy and has a bit of an Indian vibe to it. Catchy, fun, and she's obviously the better singer of the two.

"Blow The System", sung by Bella Thorne, is my second favorite of the album. Very edgy and infectious. It takes you right out of your seat. She is, however, drenched in auto-tune, and I'm not so sure that was just for the effect. Either way, it sounds good, and will be a seller. I also like the dubstep bridge.

"Sharp As A Razor", sung by the McClain Sisters, is my favorite of the album. The McClain Sisters have a lot of potential, and this song shows just that. Another club song that is very well done. The chorus is super catchy.

Overall, a great CD for kids and teens alike. Has a good selection of songs to dance to, and will keep you entertained for a while. I never got tired of the first 2 albums, and I don't see myself getting tired of "I <3 Dance" anytime soon!

It's too bad you don't get all the tracks unless you buy both the Target and Walmart exclusives though. :(

I traveled to Australia last March and heard a couple of their songs from this album.  When I got back, I scoured the internet to find the album but was super excited to find it available on amazon today, immediately downloaded it, and have been listening to it ever since.  I'm confident that this will become one of my all-time favorite hip hop albums - every track is great.

[UPDATE]: This has now vaulted to one of my favorite hip-hop albums.  Every track is good, and most are incredible.
