Javelin - No Mas


(7.5)

I love this album, it's so much fun. It's like taking a bunch of the most fun upbeat electronic genres and sounds and putting them all together, its like and electronic Ween, full of colorful J Dilla esq beats. The whole album doesn't hold up together as good as I would have hoped, there's not a lot of meaning. But for what is is, a fun beat collection, it serves its purpose well.

Vibrationz is like a funky 80's groove, Oh! Centra sounds like a take on a J-Pop hit, which they rap over with sped up voices, Susie Cues is a glitch hop track, Tell Me, What Will It Be? sounds like a crazy mix of lo-fi surf guitars with a psyche overtone and a tine of asian sound. I see a connection between the music and the retro cut-out artwork of the cover. The tracks sound like a bunch of random music cut out and pasted together with a neat and successful result of a brand new sound.

Probably the most enjoyable colorful album I've heard this year, it's got it all.

Sounds Like
J Dilla beats done by white boys
