Reviews & Discussion
The Jaxx boys bring on Rooty, their second album, and it shares the same strengths as Remedy (catchy melodies, great hooks, infectious grooves) as well as the same weaknesses (aimless filler). “Romeo” and “Breakaway” start off the album on the right foot, only to be thrown way off course by “SFM” –- a pointless track. Things pick back up with “Jus 1 Kiss,” a bouncy, joyous song. The whole album seems to go like that: one or two great songs, followed by a not-so-good track (for instance, “Get Me Off” and “Where’s Your Head At” followed by “Crazy Girl”). Basement Jaxx are both eclectic (a good thing) and inconsistent (a bad thing). On the whole, though, the better songs bear repeated listens.
