Editorial Reviews

The third EP from Xikers, 2024's House of Tricky: Trial & Error, finds the South Korean boy band digging even deeper into their kinetic brand of high-concept pop and trap music. The set builds nicely upon the hooky style of their 2023 releases, House of Tricky: Doorbell Ringing and House of Tricky: How to Play, both of which hit the Top Ten in South Korea. This time out, Xikers kick the front door of their house down with tracks like "We Don't Stop" and "Red Sun," guitar-heavy dancefloor anthems that improbably mash up the 2000s rap-rock of Linkin Park with the party-centric hip-hop of Busta Rhymes. We also get the rave-level energy of "Supercalifragilistic" and the euphoric pop-punk of "Break a Leg." ~ TiVo Staff
