Before I give you my thoughts on this single, I'm
going to describe the elements I'm hearing, and
you will probably be able to work out where I'm
going. Electric guitar, rocking out, a limp wavering
synth, there's no way those drums were actually
recorded, they're surely sequenced, a dull pop-punky
vocal, monotonous verses, predictable choruses.
Oh it's just disgusting. It's mainly the drums and
that ridiculous synth sound that is making me hurl.
It's as if they've gone “oh, synths are big
these days, let's add one” for absolutely
no reason other than because everyone else is. It
adds nothing – this could have probably passed
as a reasonable rock song if that wasn't there.
And yeah it is a little bit Elliot Minor. I tell
you what it makes me think of. Imagine if, long
ago, Pendulum were all at college, and they were
an okay rock pop punk band. Well, okay for seventeen
year olds. And then some kid comes in and tells
them that they should try dancey shit. And so they
take their advice, but way before they make it into
the UK Charts with an enormously popular couple
of records, they decide to convert one of their
own existing songs using some drum sequences (that
happen to sound like real drums ish) and a couple
of synths. That is what this makes me think of,
and that is why I don't like it.
2/5
