Customer Reviews
Silly but fun - By: Matt_K, 28 May 2008 
I think some of the less favourable reviews have missed the point somewhat. I can't believe anyone bought this album having heard the singles & actually expected something serious, but there you go. Takes all sorts I spose.
Like The Mighty Boosh, Calvin Harris somehow manages to pull off the difficult trick of being very silly & very cool at the same time. That's what you're getting here, nothing more & nothing less. Dance snobs had best look elsewhere.
Great album! - By: Ruta Studente, 28 Jan 2008 
Reading some of the reviews I was a bit thoughtful,but,as I just adore "Acceptiblein the 80's",had to buy the album anyway. Glad I did though - these songs simply take my breath away!
I Created.... Boring Tracks - By: Jas, 15 Jan 2008 
Calvin Harris arguably produced one of the best dance tunes of 2007 with 'Acceptable In The 80s'. With its very retro synth lines, catchy vocal hook & commercial appeal, the track caught the imagination of the nation. The debut album, therefore, was expected to continue that trend.
What we get, however, is dull electro trash that is as pointless as it is boring, with tracks that lack little imagination & substance. The album starts well with the catchy, funky 'Merrymaking At My Place', but it all goes slowly downhill from there. 'Colours' starts well but ends up going roundin a boring loop, & the same can be said for 'The Industry', 'Traffic Cops' & the abysmal 'Electro Man'.
There are flashes of brilliance - the well thought out & produced title track 'I Created Disco' & the funky 'Disco Heat' with it's disco inspired guitar hooks spring to mind. But even these can't detract from the feel of the album being full of fillers, tracks that start well but end up going nowhere. And ironically it's a track that sounds like an edgier version of Acceptable In The 80s 'Vegas' that is the highlight of the album.
'Acceptable In The 80s' set such a high benchmark - it's disappointing that 'I Created Disco' falls way short.
CALVIN HARRIS - I CREATED DISCO - By: Mr. D. J. Langley, 07 Sep 2007 Love all the singles, found the album really lazy on the ear. I really wanted to like Calvin but found it really hard. a bit hard work for album length, be very cautious before purchasing!
Calvin Harris - I Created Disco - By: C. Allen, 17 Jul 2007 There's no doubting the popularity of this guy. He's everywhere!
And good luck to him, he's had a couple of excellent singles & now he has his all-important album.
This could have been a 5 star album but there are a couple of tracks which are a let down.
But i'm not one to dwell on negatives, i talk about positives, & there are plenty of these on here.
We all know Acceptable In The 80's & The Girls, but the tracks that really stand out include Colours, I Created Disco (my personal fav!) Disco Heat + Certified (a Mylo esque track).
Also worth a mention is Vegas, which is a cheeky edit of Acceptable In The 80's. Very similar track, but it's still v. good!
Recommended definitly for the music, but also just for the fact that he is dance music's biggest star at present, & you might want to know what all the fuss it about.
