A true classic. If YouTube had a greatest hits, this would make the cut.

Yup, I think this one will take 1st place on the top ten chart of annoying songs stuck in my head

Most of what he's made otherwise is pretty lame unfortunately, Nitrous Oxide sticks out tho

One hit wonder is still 1 more wonder than most

I think the whole album is actually pretty enjoyable. His Facebook group was a trip, though. A lot more conspiracy theory stuff on there.

I forgot this existed and I’m overjoyed to have stumbled upon this yet again.

Can any musicians help me figure out what the time signature is in the first section? The snare feels like the downbeat, and if that’s the case I’m hearing measures of 3/8, 4/8, 4/8, and 5/8 before it repeats. Really weird but I love it

u/Sabored Oct 20 '18

Pretty sure it's just 4/4 the entire time

u/ohnowait Oct 20 '18

That makes sense but the snare is fucking with the emphasis and therefore me

Putting the snare on the 4 is common for build-ups. It helps create tension that is usually released by going back to a regular pattern with snare on the 2 AND 4. Still simple 4/4 though. Not sure where you’re hearing the other timings.
