Tim: No, I don’t know what the name’s all about either, but they’re Swedish and they’ve come out with this.
Tom: Well that kicks in right from the first beat, doesn’t it?
Tim: Oh yes, and then my first thought on hearing that chorus was “bloody hell, NOISE”, partly because of the constant wall of sound rather than just standard drumbeats, and also the way it starts out almost sounding a bit white noise-y.
Tom: Mm. I wonder how much of that is MP3 and YouTube compression, and how much is the producer absolutely crushing all the sound? It’s not quite so bad that it sounds like all the other instruments get quieter every time there’s a bass kick, so I’m going to suspect the former.
Tim: I guess you could be right, but anyway it soon becomes a bit more melodic, and come the second chorus (alright, second listening) I’m prepared for it and it all sounds pretty good.
Tom: I’m surprised how catchy I find it: with slightly different production, I could see myself liking this a lot.
Tim: Well all in all I like it as is. It’s noisy, but I like it.
