Tim: Not sure how we’ve not featured Stockholm Syndrome before, or at least not in their current form – they’re basically a rebranded, restyled and slightly trimmed Love Generation. HOWEVER, they’re here now, so shall we have a Friday BANGER?
Tom: Naming a band after a horrible psychological condition. Normal for a death metal band, a bold move in the world of pop.
Tom: Oh! For once, we’ve got a song introduced as a BANGER here, and it actually is. That’s really good.
Tim: Isn’t it? Although, I know it’s not the most important thing to focus on, but I’m really rather disappointed by how little effort was put into that YouTube ‘video’ – perfect opportunity, given the flickering, to have it be like a visual version of those word puzzles where you change one letter at a time and at the end it’s a completely different word.
Tom: The thing is: as someone who does graphics, I know there’s actually quite a bit of effort gone in there: all sorts of subtle movement and flicker effects. It’s just the result is so underwhelming.
Tim: Right – and even if you’re not doing that you could at least have it flickering in time with the BEAT, because that is quite the BEAT we have there. In fact, it’s quite the track all round, really. Big tune, big production, easy imaginable alongside a stunning laser/fire visual in a club, and big competent vocals.
Tom: Agreed. This is a floor-filler.
Tim: In short, LET’S HAVE A WEEKEND.
