I dunno - I struggle to call it a "song". It has some beats, some rhythmic recitation of sentiments - but it seems to lack melody, harmony, or any significant instrumentation.. but then again - I quit listening after I think 2 minutes or so - maybe they cut loose with some actual music at some point.

I'm not even intending to be prudish about the language. It's fine when use to drive home a point - it just seems a littleā€¦. numbing I guess.

The melody for this song has been in my head all day. It certInly has instrumentation, those drums are awesome, cool bass and guitar. It is most certainly a song.

I stand corrected. There is, indeed a melody for two short bursts in there, and even instrumentation.

I've never been a fan of their stuff - I shouldn't be surprised that I don't love it. I think I clicked on this hoping that trying something new, I would find something new, something I would like. Bummed that I didn't.
