"Hold the Line" by Major Lazer from the album Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do. 2009.
Oh man, do I like this group. I had a tough time whittling down which specific tune to feature-- all the songs I've heard have their own distinct kick to make it interesting. "Hold the Line" might define the band best, though, especially when tied to its music video. So sorry, Toto, the title's not in Kansas anymore.
The reggae dance-hall sound that pulses here paints just one side of the marvelous Lazer fuzzy dice. This humorously titled album rolls a Yahtzee with the thumping "Anything Goes," grooving "Cash Flow," jazzing (and comedic!) "Mary Jane," and finally electropopping "Keep It Goin' Louder." And I don't mean last-turn, 3rd-attempt, 4-dice-saved-up Yahtzee scavenge. I'm talkin' a right-out-the-barrel, still-unused-Chance-slot, double-points bonus Yahtzee game clincher. But who plays Yahtzee anymore? The fact stands that great songs build a great album. Besides, it's about time someone gave the Gorillaz a run for their money.
