After fooling us into thinking that ‘Never Say Never’ was the new sound of Basement Jaxx, I returned to liking them once again. I hate to be negative, but their output over the past 8-10 years has been pretty much “same ole, same ole”, with the same sound effects, formulaic songs and tacky gimmicks.
I spent £11 on the deluxe CD in HMV, an I have to say that I am really disappointed. Most of the album is mustered up of fillers with annoying female vocalists and nothing different to their output from 2004.
It truly takes a lot for me to be negative in a review, but BJ are SO talented….so I don’t get how this album can be considered “current”. It’s a bad copy of Kish Kash if you ask me.
However, ‘Never Say Never’ is 100% an anthem, and there are at least 3 other songs on Junto worthy of another listening. #SHOULDHAVEBEENANEP
