| | Death in Vegas: Scorpio Rising: Pitchfork Record Review (Site not responding. Last check: ) |
 | | Adhering to what must be formal guidelines set by the electronic music industry, Death in Vegas exist as a duo, and have ever since the height of the electronic boom in the mid-to-late 1990s. |
 | | With much of the rock arrangements ill-suited to Death in Vegas' club-honed compositional sensibilities, tracks like "Leather" and "Girls" striking a groove but never fully cresting, the stiff rhythms and deadpan delivery (from Adult.'s Nicola Kuperus) of "Hands Around My Throat" are well supported, rather than overwhelmed, by some additive live drumming and clanging guitar. |
 | | So while the two hearts of Death in Vegas are firmly in the right place, given that some of the biggest electronic hits have been from DJs hewing their sound to a rock standard, the execution is ultimately flawed. |
