liberty x - jumpin'

this is like a three-and-a-half minute attempt to convince the audience that we are listening to a good chorus! like, if you lay it over enough different variations of this mono-chord acoustic jam ("like i love you" completely misunderstood by british people bah!) it will eventually sit well and become memorable; all the toil it took to record the live bits and lx's vocals and make those synth noises will be worth it.

as always i want lx to win because they are fucking cool! i dunno about the first two minutes, i suppose they're good mainly for setting up the massive finale: first the "say uh oh" breakdown with hot synth stabs, then a holly valance pretend dancehall stereo pingpong bit, then the return of the chorus with heavy groove bass (urrr) (lx never sell out by using gross guitars though!), then the chorus with just acoustic guitar, then an even heavier return, and by this time it is reminding me of that rage against the machine song where he's going "fuck you i won't do what you tell me" at the end (incidentally a fave of legendary spizz non-poster and liberty x superfan jack cable).

so sometimes i'm thinking "calm down lx dudes!" and other times i give in and headbop to it. whatever, liberty x's rawness is being loveable and trying too hard, which means they remain raw!
