This is a great album, but the "limited edition" does not have enough features to warrant paying an additional $6. You get two bonus tracks, and that's about it. The free multimedia content on the Fischerspooner website far surpasses what's on this CD.

Very disappointing. Nothing on par with the limited edition DVD that was packaged with their previous release, #1. The album rates a 4 or 5, but I'm giving this a "2" to steer people toward the regular edition of this disk.

Fischerspooner rocked in 2001 with their #1 release which made 80's new wave/synth pop hip again based on the sole strength of Emerge and The #15.

In 2005, Fischerspooner capitalized on their assets and conjured an amazing album which relied less on new wave/synth pop but more on their personal creations of electronica dance rock. The superior Just Let Go picked up where #1 left off and resulted in a stunning anthem-like track. Cloud, co-produced with the famed Mirwais Ahmadzai works equally well with a familiar satrt-stop beginning, retro-electronic and a dream-like chorus. Other winners include the sexy Get Confused and Emerge Part 2, A Kick In The Teeth.

This is definitely a great electronic/dance album not to be missed. The limited edition features expanded artwork (booklet), 2 bonus tracks and a G-force visualizer download link for your PC media player.

If you are not into packaging, the normal edition holds up well!

Unlike most people who have listend to Fischerspooner before this is my first taste of their style. I would have to say from the original production quality to the "catchy" lyrics this is a total package.Just Let Go, not enough can be said for this track, reminds me of a retro sound mixed with Thievory Corp kind of vibe to it. This review is for newbies and the established listeners into this genre. Go,Buy, and decide for yourself. . Don't take my word for this group, the final review is yours.

a beautiful sonic landscape lit up by hypnotic, psychedelic treasures that are at times upbeat and groovy, and sometimes mysteriously soothing.

This band should be better known and appreciated. Definitely check it out!

at first i was a bit underwhelmed when hearing this album -- nothing really stood out other than some amazing studio production. but as with all great albums eventually, repeated listening has an amazing effect on your first impression.

if you're a dj and don't feel like spending extra $$ on a cd-single release of "just let go" then this version with the bonus tracks is worth the money -- you'd be spending the same amount roughly for the original version of the album + the single combined.

track 3 "never win" was the first one to finally click with me. perfect 21st century electropop. and the "thin white duke" remix of "just let go" with its spooky background synths works wonders on the floors of post-rave underground e.d.m. clubs.

I think these guys are really good. I have three of their albums now and they are all really solid. The best songs on this album are never win and we need a war.

I was a huge fan of their first album...it was groundbreaking in many regards. I was very excited when this new CD came out so I set the mark too high. Odyssey was a let down in many ways, the biggest being they used the same vocal effects for almost every song. There was no variety in the synths either... There are a few songs that are alright, nothing up to the standards of #1 Enhanced though....buy at your own risk.
