13.Fitz and the Tantrums-Complicated
So I can't lie the new album Fitz and the Tantrums put out this year just kind of flew completely over my head and Handclap while being a good track in a live environment is overall an overly commercialized attempt at making another Walker which in and of itself was nothing more than a solid track that got bigger than it ever should have.
Fitz and company in all honesty are best when they're making tracks that aren't trying to be commercial jingles and instead let Noel and Fitz kind of play off each other in either a kind of romantic or playful sense and in all honesty seeing this live is probably what got me to like it so much because I didn't listen to any of the new songs before their set at beach ball this year and this song was the standout from all the new stuff because unlike Roll Out or Hand clap this one isn't trying to be something commercial and kind of like Burn it Down its kind of a very simple track that has Noel and Fitz playing off one another with neither really taking center stage which is kind of nice considering how often they've enjoyed flip flopping tracks over the past few albums.
