In today's music, if you want to move forward, you have to progress, or, to put it more bluntly, adapt to what's "happening in your environment." This can be good or bad, depending on how you do it.
For those already familiar with B.Jaxx, this new album won't be a total upheaval, but there's been quite a change: and in my opinion, it's positive. Riding the wave of Mouse On Mars, BuckFunk3000, R.Hawtin (aka Plastikman), even the Brixton duo has taken a nice turn towards the new London sound, producing a varied album, both in terms of base and vocals. Sure, it retains the "transporting joy" background of the first two works, but with significantly more intertwined samples, and with tracks that span different themes.
The final result is an album that's definitely in step with the times of the electronic scene, distancing itself from the uncomfortable label of a "House" group that had previously been attached to them, and leaning more towards ElectroDrum&Bass with that typical "basement" verve, without, however, exaggerating the genre (see A.Twin/Squarepusher).
Recommended for those fed up with the usual "Tunz-Tunz Piripiri" that our local electronic artists feed us; let's call it "Sunday morning" electronics. Score 4 because in the single they included a rapper from their neighborhood who is, to put it mildly, pathetic (I am VERY DEMANDING about rap), and consequently, it's the worst track on the album...but now rap sells, so...
Tracklist and Lyrics
01 Good Luck (feat. Lisa Kekaula) (04:42)
Tell me, tell me,
Is life just a playground?
Think you're the real deal, Honey,
And someone will always look out for you
But wake up, Baby,
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely,
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Good luck, good luck,
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey,
When you're resting your head
Good luck, good luck,
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey,
When you're resting your head
You sold me, sold me,
You sold me down the river Nile
I hope you're feeling happy now,
Now you always have a sneer in your smile
But wake up, Baby,
You're so totally deluded
You'll end up old and lonely,
If you don't get a bullet in your head
Good luck, good luck,
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey,
When you're resting your head
Good luck, good luck,
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey,
When you're resting your head
And I'm glad, so glad, that I'm done with you
No more crying, crying leaving me so black & blue
You backed me up against the wall,
But I stand tall, don't give a damn no more
Oh, Baby, bye bye
No more lies
No more lies
Without you
Good good luck,
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares,
When you resting your head
Good good luck,
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares
Good luck, good luck,
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey,
When you're resting your head
Good luck, good luck,
Good luck in your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey,
When you're resting your head
Good luck, good luck, (Good luck)
Good luck in your new bed (Good luck)
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey, (Good luck)
When you're resting your head (Good luck)
Good luck, good luck, (Good luck)
Good luck in your new bed (Good luck)
Enjoy your nightmares, Honey, (Good luck)
When you're resting your head (Good luck)
Good good luck,
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares,
When you resting your head
Good good luck,
In your new bed
Enjoy your nightmares

I am everything...
I am nothing...
In the peitry dish,
Of the creator...
09 If I Ever Recover (03:23)
If I ever recover if my soul can mend
Make it through to where I'm older
Find a shoulder find a friend
I hope she don't remind me
Of anything to do with you
I left it all behind me
And I'm aching baby to be through with you
12 Hot 'n Cold (04:00)
Don't know why you speak to me no more
I wanna hear, if i can hear when you call
Do you really mean that I have might just seem invincible
Whatever it is, its bringin' me to pointing the point
Hot n cold
whip n roll
hot n cold
lets just make one thing we can all have when it all goes down
uh uh uh uh uh
Now I hear you're talking some nonsense
And I know its perfectly and completely amissible but
Nicer been silence
And the odds, then our man would otherwise be a liar
Hot n cold
whip n roll
hot n cold
I've been to hear you, hear you when you call
Hot n cold
whip n roll
hot n cold
lets just make one thing we can all have when it all goes down
uh uh uh uh uh
It makes no sense at all to me
It makes no sense at all to me
It makes no sense at all
Return to slither under my skin
Slide under me, take my veins
And go straight to
The black hole within
Now I hear you're talking some nonsense
And I know its perfectly and completely admissible but
Nicer than silence
And the odds, that our man would otherwise be a liar
Hot n cold
whip n roll
hot n cold
I've been to hear you, hear you when you call
Hot n cold
whip n roll
hot n cold
lets just make one thing we can all have when it all goes down
oohh ahhhh
bop bop bop ooooohh
13 Living Room (02:25)
All your heads bobbing
Do your body popping
Keep yourself dreaming
Come and let me hear u scream
People gonna hurt u
People will desert u
Come into my living room
Let me take all your clothes off
Why you got that face
When's it gonna happen
When you got that face
It might be too late
Come on all you loners
Cloners and stoners
Heads that are steaming
Life with no meaning
People leave u hungry
They rob all your money
Come into to my living room
Let me take all your clothes off
Why you got that face
When's it gonna happen
When you got that face
It might be too late
Why you got that face
When's it gonna happen
It could be the end of the world
And we don't know where we're going
