Major Lazer – Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do
Released: 05/07/2009
V2
Concealed behind the façade of a fictional, animated commando with a 1980s action figure aesthetic, producers Diplo and Switch have created a dizzying and original album of kaleidoscopic dancehall. Like Gorillaz before them, their chosen form allows them to play freely, yielding hugely favourable results.

Drowned In Sound“Impressive tunes...” Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do is an album with both occasional brilliance and some tragic misteps, of varying strengths rather than strength through variety...

Guardian“Like a Basement Jaxx album remixed by hyperactive hooligan children...” By virtue of its sheer irreverence, Guns Don't Kill... seems to encapsulate everything you always loved about reggae, and perhaps thought had disappeared...

The Telegraph“An album overflowing with ideas...” Throughout, Diplo and Switch have challenged themselves and come up with something that’s not only imaginative but raucous good fun...

allmusic“The results are impressive...” It's as much as could be expected but not quite as much as it could have been, and considering the rumors of more productions and guests that didn't see the light, it's likely there'll be more to come...

Pitchfork“An armful of perfect cookout...” Best to enjoy it now, even though it will still also sound great in six months...
