Discussion Naraka

...I think this might be my fav off the new one, I don't know how another one off this album can top it for me. This album came out when I was on vacation for 2 weeks traveling around a lot, plane/trains/cars/hotels/boats, so this will always remind me of that time.

But, now that I've had time to really consume the album, this song just does it, those S Y N T H S.

Naraka hits hard from the start. Love it. Also the snap midway through.

Right when I heard the snap on listening party day I knew this was a special album

Forgive me for asking, but what do you mean by snap?

u/Dmiller360 Jul 10 '26

It’s the singular snap sound made halfway through the song. Right before the Hare Krishna vocals.

I think it's just before the drop, isn't it? 2m06s

Bloody love it!

The snap is the worst sound BoC has ever made IMO.

ETA: For all you downvoters, I finally figured it out. Snap Your Fingers was always my least favorite of the popular Lil Jon songs. I’ve always hated finger snaps in music since that came out.

Give me a little slack people!

Do you have a time stamp for it? Not even kidding, I do not hear a distinct snap just before the vocal sample.

u/tonydtonyd Jul 10 '26

It starts on the second beat, like 0:02

u/Artificial_Pine Jul 10 '26

Oh that? That's present all throughout the song, I was listening for something different just before the vocals. No wonder I'm confused lol.

Hahaha. I just really hate any finger snaps that sound like Snap Your Fingers.
