Editorial Reviews
Grammy-nominated Armand Van Helden unleashes his Nympho with this release, his first artist album in 5 years. Hot off the back of last year's mix album release New York: A Mix Odyssey, this album illustrates Armand's instinctual knack for soaking up various musical influences and spitting them out in the form of gut-wrenching, killer tracks. Ultra. 2005.

4.0 out of 5 stars
Solid House Rock,

This review is from: Nympho (Audio CD)
Undeniably, the musicianship contained in these 13 songs is excellent. And poo on you to anyone who still fails to see a computer as a valid instrument.
What truly irks me on this disc, and why I simply could not give it 5 stars, was Virgin Killer. This loud, obnoxious, screamy fellow is featured on four songs! I found myself straining hard to hear the music behind his vocal beltings wishing he would shut up and just let the music play. Some perfectly good tracks are ruined by his screaming. But, moving on. This album has some truly standout tracks. Whether it's the sexy breathing/screaming of Creme Blush in Come Play With Me, the beautiful repetition of Into Your Eyes, When The Lights Go Down, and MY MY MY, or the funky goodness of tracks like Hear My Name or The Tear Drop, there is definitely something on this album for just about anyone. Monsieur Van Helden manages to acquire, save Virgin Killer, a good collection of featured vocalists that do his very interesting musical style good justice. If you are a fan of filtered older tracks... If you are a fan of heavy-hitting guitar-driven dance... If you are a fan of deep sexy house... If you are a fan of light poppy funk... Man, if you are a fan of hip-shaking, groove-making, brain-quaking, earth-shaking OUT and OUT *ELECTRONIC* music... Then pick this winner up. And see if Virgin Killer is better than I think he is.

Come Play With Me,
By Jake Z "holden84" (Canada) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nympho (Audio CD)
This is definately different from Armand Van Helden's previous work. On NYMPHO, he incorporates different styles into the mix. Lots of heavy guitar riffs, that sound great. It's a bit different but it works. The songs are still club friendly and will get you on your feet. My favorites include My My My, Hear My Name, Into Your Eyes, When The Lights Go Down, Come Play With Me and Jenny. Check it out!

Last Night I Danced With the DJ - "Come Play With Me",
By NiCa (Washington DC) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Nympho (Audio CD)
Armand Van Helden is without a doubt one of the best dance music producers of our time. Through the span of his career he has contributed a plethora of dance floor hits. "Nympho" is very different from his previous albums but is still Armand at his finest. If you're expecting tracks such as "You Don't Know Me" perhaps this album isn't for you. Armand's music continues to evolve with the times. Anyone that is a true Van Helden fan can appreciate his incorporation of many different styles of music into his productions. This album is definitely reflects Armand's love of rock music but don't be alarmed because the tracks are still floor friendly. From the title track "Nympho" ft. Virgin Killer to "Hot City Nights" the guitars prevail (with a phat bass line of course.) Only Armand can combine guitars w/house music and make it sound this good. Aside from the hits "Hear My Name" and "My My My", "Come Play With Me" ft. Creme Blush and "Jenny" ft. Spalding Rockwell are great tracks w/funny vocals. This is a must have album.
