Den hollandske dj Junkie XL remixede Elvis Presley tilbage i 2002, så han er gammel af gårde. Det synes han også at være, når han har dedikeret sit seneste album til den gamle rave-drug Ecstasy. Junkie XL er stadig funderet i den elektroniske dansemusik, men "Synthesized" låner fra både funk, hip hop, rock og pop, og Junkie XL spiller bas, guitar og trommer undervejs. Adskillige <i>club bangers</i> undervejs kan nok lokke yngre mennesker på dansegulvet, men ellers er det nok nu, Junkie XL bør give stafetten videre.

"'Synthesized' excels at the requisite primal, instrumental-oriented stirrers, like the rousing electro-percussive 'Bonzai' and the aggressive 'Twilight Trippin' founded on pounding beats and wordless chants. Plus the title track is a cheeky blend of Phillip Glass and 'Voulez-Vous'-era ABBA that erupts into a modern juggernaut".

"For those who like their electronic music clearly defined, it's a hard sell, but Synthesized is an easy recommendation for those who appreciate Junkie's skill and/or any witty genre-jumping around dance-pop".
