Scars is the fifth studio album by English electronic music duo Basement Jaxx. Studio album by Basement Jaxx. Luckily I'd written some surreal poem and said, 'You could read this along to the music. In an interview, Felix Buxton stated that the album Scars were all the things that the band had been through emotionally and physically. Felix told Rolling Stone Australia they named the album after he was mugged for his bicycle in Brixton, London in 2008. He revealed: "I wasn't badly hurt, but it scared me. It's probably one of the scariest moments of my life. Scars are the things that stay with you and that incident definitely gave me on.
Still, it hardly breaks the album, and there's nothing here you could write off as true filler, but that perfect flow that made their masterpieces so thrilling is missing, plus the increased number of doubtful or regretful numbers referenced by the album's title seems to come from a totally different song cycle than the busy, rump-shaking stunners. Even if this is a bumpier ride than expected, Scars is a worthwhile throwback to the freak attitude that kicked off their career over a decade earlier. Anyone excited by the idea will find plenty to love.
Lyrics to "Scars" song by Basement Jaxx: Coming loose, at the seams Blind spots, voices Controls gone, I'm like a balloon Cut it out, emotion. Distance, it grows now You don't, reach for me All I got, all I got Is my scars. Save me give me wings to fly Make me young reason to fight Suddenly we'll cross a home Remember me into the night. Kiss me then I'll wake up Fairy tales make up. Headlight, black demons Peering in my hollow core Grudges they're strangling and splinters and dry skin. Streetlights they see me The whole world will reach for me All I got, all I got Is my scars. Save me give me wings to fly Make me young reason to fight Suddenly we'll cross a home Remember me into the night
Scars - Fairly Good, Based on 6 Critics.
Basement Jaxx has got to be one of the most inventive and energetic music producers around. Listening to this album is like an adventure through previous Basement Jaxx releases while at the same time delivering new sounds and loops that still sound like their trademark style. I can't really say anything negative about this album. It is just complete in and of itself! Thanks. Scars" is a symphony of beautifully crafted noises that I listened to on repeat endlessly. It and "Raindrops" carry the album from this typical party duo into something not dark, but more serious and interesting. The the party returns with "She's No Good" all the way through "Twerk," which is the crazy dancehall "Red Alert" of this album.
Coming loose, at the seams Blind spots, voices Control's gone, I'm like a balloon Cut it out, emotion Distance, it grows now You don't, reach for me All I got, all I got Is my scars. Save me give me wings to fly Make me your reason to fight Suddenly we'll cross a home Remember me into the morn.
