Review ~ LM.C
JOHN
LM.C's new single, JOHN is on par to be the next guilty pleasure of 2008. The song plays out like a rainbow-filled anthem to giddiness. You can rock out to it, dance to it, run around in circles to it. It is unabashedly bubbly rock, but it's so damn irresistible you can't help but fall in love with it! Those unfamiliar with jrock (or scared into thinking jrock is all hardcore yelling) will be drawn to its catchy guitar riffs. Jrock haters will try to find every reason in the book to hate it but end up listening to it anyways. LM.C haters will be drawn to its dorky lovable-ness (but insist that they hate it). LM.C lovers will love it. My verdict? It's got spunk, and spunk goes a long way.
The second song, Tiny Circus, is cute, too, but progressively slower than JOHN. It has a quirky electro undertone to it and maintains the single's bubbly marching band sound. LM.C tends to mix up strange recipes with sound that end up working well. In this song they add in a choir, and like all their previous random sound mix-ups, it tailors to the song pretty well!
