Tom: The Bloody Beetroots? That’s a heck of a name.
Tim: Yes, that is what these Italians call themselves, and unusually the producers and the singer are getting equal billing. But enough of the formalities: I heard this on Teen Wolf a few months back, while we were in the middle of Rejects season, so here it is now because I really like it.
Tom: Crikey, I got distracted and drifted off during the first bit of that, only to be suddenly startled by that instrumental bit. Bloody hell.
Tim: First off: points for the video, as I do like it when the camera cuts match the beat of the music, and it annoys me that it doesn’t happen more often.
Tom: It’s a stylistic choice: some directors and editors will prefer to make a film with a soundtrack, rather than the other way around. Either can work.
Tim: Now the main part: you might remember a couple of weeks ago we had a track that was similar to this – female vocalist on a fairly quiet verse, big thumping beats to the chorus.
Tom: Yep, and I remember thinking that it was rather good while you didn’t like it.
Tim: Back then I found it almost unpleasant, and I don’t know why, but I don’t find this anywhere near as jarring. It might just be that it’s not quite as intense – in fact it probably is that because I could listen to this quite a lot, whereas I got tired of the previous after a few listens. A lot of that, I think, is the way the top synth line often sounds vocal-y – it almost serves to relax the track a bit. Either way, or neither, GREAT STUFF.
