It’s one of those nights where I stay up past the time I said I’d go to bed just to make sure a review was written. I missed Wednesday and I’m not about to flake two days in one week. So at almost midnight I’m sitting here fighting yawns listening to The Bynars X vs. X. Oh no, don’t think for one second that this record is the cause for my sleepy state. If anything, this was the perfect choice for tonight. It’s synth-pop ways helped to keep my eyes open and mind focused.
I usually keep the best song until the end, but I couldn’t help but mention this one first. “Dancing on a Dream” was like scene straight out of an 80’s movie in the middle of a shopping montage. What person doesn’t want to live out one of those? Since it may never happen to me in reality, I’ll just continue to listen to this song and play pretend. Yes, it’s midnight and I’m fantasizing about this. Other than that, you got a future iPod commercial with “I’ll Get You Back” and what could be a dance club favorite, “All I Wanna Do Is Have Some fun Tonight.” Before I wrap things up, if “Dancing on a Dream” wasn’t my top choice, “Never Gonne Die” would be it. Other than being a grand to proclaim, it sounded like a video game and to me, could be Mario’s theme song; help him get to that Princess without harm.
The slow tracks on X vs. X weren’t where the party was at, and if you decide to give The Bynars a chance, heads towards the ones that’ll make you move. If you’re into synth-pop acts and are looking to add more to your collection, X vs. X is out now.
