Album Review: Music Is the Weapon by Major Lazer
Fairly Good, Based on 1 Critic
Based on rating 3
When Major Lazer was founded by producers Diplo and Switch, the goal was simple: create innovative, hooky Caribbean-flavoured electronic music with plenty of guests, energy and humour. Switch left after their brilliant debut album, and since then Major Lazer has gradually become ever more similar to the rest of Diplo's output, with many of the specifications above morphing into optional extras. Music Is The Weapon is presumably intended as a semi-sequel to 2015's Peace Is The Mission, and shares some of its inclinations to straightforward pop.
