Tim: Disturbing images in the choruses of this video, here, but otherwise you’ll be fine.
Tom: I didn’t know what I expected from that warning, but it certainly wasn’t… that.
Tim: I struggle with this track. Personally, I don’t much like it, because it’s aggressive, a bit unpleasant, and not hugely enjoyable for me.
Tom: Huh. It is aggressive, it is a bit unpleasant, but for once those don’t become unpleasant for me. It’s rather good.
Tim: However, tonally, musically, lyrically, it’s brilliant: the lyrics with their “you wanted me gone, I’m gone, just bloody live with it” message fit perfectly with the loud noise and the haunting (almost taunting) chanting in the background. The occasional stops put that in as well, as if to give the slight implication that actually there’s a bit of doubt, but no she really means it.
Tom: Right! The style is right, the music’s good…
Tim: The chorus is big, bold, and almost surprising in, well, almost its audacity of volume and tone. So the song is great. But I don’t like it.
Tom: Speak for yourself, I’m in favour of it. Although possibly not that creepy face.
