CSS has not produced a bad album yet. They were doing electro-pop before it went mainstream in 2007 and that should count for something. With that being said, Lovefoxxx doesn't take the band into any surprising directions on "La Liberacion" but the product is still satisfying.
Gagacore "City Grrl" is one of the few songs that places the band firmly in 2011. It features Ssion who gives a annoyingly catty Jeffree Starr spoken intro. The JS image sticks even more when Lovefoxx mentions pink hair.
Another track that sounds a little different from the rest of the catalog is "Partners in Crime" which is also surprisingly pop-rock. It features Ratatat's Mike Garson on piano and sounds a little more grown-up.
My personal favorite track is the very first: "I Love You". It has a bright electronic feel combined with the usual Kim-Gordon-singing-Tom-Tom-Club-covers vocals. The song, like the album, is good but doesn't break any molds.
Grade: B
