VIMTV Episode #281: The Go! Team – Rolling Blackouts

Jake: Partially Recommended, 65/100

Tom: Partially Recommended, 64/100

Overview:  The Go! Team’s latest is probably just what you’d expect– a fun, raucous blast of energetic music. Unfortunately, the magic pretty much stops there. While it’s hard to be in a bad mood when listening to Rolling Blackouts, there just isn’t much depth or ambition behind this music to warrant a very high score. However, what these guys and gals do, they do well, and this will be a great listen for anyone looking for the mood it’s trying to provide.
