Endoxi: "I'm Bipolar"

Basically, the high point to me was the fact that they used real instruments — real drums, real bass, real horns — I liked that part of it. It’s nice to hear because so often now music is recorded with synthesized horns or a drum machine. I thought the composition was pretty good. The vocals and lyrics were okay. He kind of dragged out the emotional part of it too much for me. I heard a little bit of Bradley Nowell [of Sublime] in the vocals. That song wasn’t really reggae, but it kind of had that poppy, college-party sound. I could see white, college-aged males being into it — frat guys. I picture them drinking beer to that song.
