2013 Jester One Music Top 20 Countdown - #15

15 - The Features - This Disorder



The Features, for me, are a love-hate relationship. In 2011 they released an album ("Wilderness") with two great singles, but the album itself was just so incredibly trashy that it detracted from how good the actual songs were. Not to be deterred, they quickly dished out a self-titled effort in '13 that is no better than the one before it. But the moment I heard this song, I knew it was going to be a great jam. Make sure you listen closely for the triangle parts.

The song begins innocently enough with a simple bass-line. Sometimes that's all it takes to launch a great song. As a matter of fact, the guitars don't even show themselves until the chorus hits. The video is absolutely ridiculous. The first half of the song has a man visiting the doctors office, and when the doctor takes a look into his eye he (the man) is transported into a dance-hall where he started breakdancing. Apparently the b-boy has "This Disorder" Very clever, Features. I just hope you can pump out an album next time that is tolerable.
