intro
Appalling and bland electronica aimed simply at chart-topping success on third album from Major Lazer
This is would-be funky hiphopness aimed at 12-year olds if you ask me. If nothing else, Major Lazer perhaps should go into history as inventing text muzak. Each note is sillier than the one before. He is like one of those clowns acting up and down in a tedious kiddies' show. While he may yet become a star in Disneyland, an entire album of his is frankly more than any human should be expected to bear. The focus of this album looms somewhere between that of a garage muzak posse and dreadlocked shopping mall quasi hipsters. Its predictability is rather hilarious. This is prefab muzak designed to drag you through urban gridlock. 'Peace is the Mission' tries to catch the vibe of today, but 'Light It Up' portrays the emptiness heard in plastic chart muzak. It's filth of popular quality. Best avoid.
