I LOVE that synth arpeggio that happens throughout the track that's timed as a 9/16 polymeter over the 4/4 everything else. SO hot cool. . I love polymeter!!!!!!!!!!

Confronting Myself opens pretty aggressively with an ominous-sounding chorus on top of a polymetric synth arpeggio

The static sound with the white noise is so cool too AAAAAAAAAH. I LOVE THAT PART that is my favorite part of the track probably since that's also one of the polymeter parts.

hard gating and distortion effects on the vocals, and static cutting in and out. It's a really cool effect that ups the intensity of the track. It's the details that really make this track tick, and make it an enjoyable listen for me as a whole.

then it gets WEIRD chord changes from :24 - :30 and I LOVE THAT PART it is weird and every time that thing happens ITS GREAT (IT IS MY FAVORITE PART(s)

That four-chord progression at 0:24 gets me every time-- that's really good. Those descending chromatic fourths-- also good!

The crunchy dissonant piano at 1:55 is GOLDEN ALso

The change in direction to a more tense feel at 1:55. All of these little things make this really work, and not get repetitive or too predictable.

MycroProcessor posted...

Some of the stereotypical HEROIC chord change sections are good too though even if they are not as cool as the weird parts to me..

kaonashi1 posted...

It makes the parts that cleave to more conventional compositional tropes just that much more palatable, even enjoyable-- a return to normalcy. A very pleasant surprise from the side bracket.
