Esser

Headlock

“You got me in a headlock, nothing in the world’s going to help me now”. Using playground fighting tricks as a metaphor for being in a troubled relationship as evidence that he’s “got a problem, it’s called living”, this sounds like Gorillaz playing Xbox and crying. It’s great. Here’s some advice though, Esser: shit yourself, and the bullies will run a mile. They hate the smell of victory.

The only vaguely useful content of this review is the line "It's great". Not a single other word reveals a thing about who might like this song. stop being lazy and/or pretentious and write about the damn music
