Making a crater-sized impact upon arrival in 2009, the music on Major Lazer's Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do has undoubtedly endured, sounding as fresh today as it did 15 years ago. Diplo and Switch's first full-length under the long-running moniker represented a pitch-perfect mix of effervescent dancehall, tangy electronic melodies, and beats so hard-hitting that they feel like they're leaping out of your speakers to give you a walloping themselves. Upon release, very little in the North American musical landscape sounded like Guns Don't Kill People... Lazers Do-and 15 years later, the record remains utterly singular even as it's influence is pervasive. It was the perfect party-hardy record to close out the 2000s, and it hasn't lost an ounce of it's ribald and truly pleasurable audaciousness since.
This 15th anniversary repress contains 2xLP 12" vinyls in a double sleeve gatefold.
