5.0 out of 5 stars Faithless Perfects With Reverence, November 1, 2000

By	Jon (Columbiana, Ohio, USA) - See all my reviews

In the traditional realm of dance vs. trance techno, Faithless has managed quite successfully to incorporate both genres into their styles, mixing it into a wonderful album that is glorious from beginning to finish. The first song, Reverence, is a great opener, with Maxi Jazz coming immediately upon the scene with his awesome and infamous raps, and the momentum continues until the end of the album. I became familiar with Faithless through their next album, Sunday 8PM, so the transition from that album to this one was substantial, yet both albums are of superb quality and succeed in refining the beautiful and powerful style of Faithless. Actually, in some ways I like Reverence somewhat better than Sunday 8PM, because of my background preference of dance, instead of trance. There is plenty of trance in Reverence, but it works itself well to build and not become tiring. I would definately recommend this album to everyone who appreciates musical talent in this sort of eurotechno/rap genre. Some highlights are: Reverence, Insomnia, Dirty Old Man, Don't Leave, and Salva Mea, but all of the songs are great. Buy this album!

5.0 out of 5 stars The best or second-best Faithless album..., December 29, 2005

By	Robert G. Serafini (Cambridge, MA United States) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

It is very difficult to top the white-hot, cumulative intensity of 2005's "No Roots" but for stand-alone tunes (which still have their own kind of unity...) "Reverence" is also outstanding. The remix disk "Irreverence" - which is included in some versions of this album - delivers consistently superb alternatve versions of these songs, notable even for a group that has one of the finest catalogues of remixes in Musicdom.

Don't debate: buy "Reverence" and "No Roots". You will be sickened to hear that this protean, unpredictable, unclassifiable artist/producer trio has announced "No Roots" to be their last album while ho-hum nonentity derivative acts roll on forever.

3.0 out of 5 stars Think carefully before buying this album, December 3, 1999

By	Chris Brampton (Oxford, England) - See all my reviews

This is an OK album, but it's not great. Anyone who's bought Sunday 8pm can tell you that Faithless can do SOOOO much better than this. If you want to buy this record, think twice about it - the best songs on the album (Insomnia, Salva Mea, Reverence) are all singles anyway, and the singles have all the best mixes. The double-CD version of Reverence (with bonus remix disc 'Irreverence') is worth checking out, but otherwise save your money, because it just isn't worth it.
