The heavily distorted guitar during the opening minute? I actually like the sound of it, despite what you might have expected. It doesn't really make for much of a song on its own, but it's still an experience. In the next section, I like the voice, but don't like the weird plucked string going on in the background. It feels like this part goes on way too long. The stabs at 2:15-2:43 are pretty hard on the ears, making it the weakest part of the song for me. Really though, was it necessary to make that intro section almost 3 minutes long? Not a lot happens, and on some listens, I found it to be really boring, particularly since the sounds themselves are mildly atonal. Then the song really starts. What I really like is the contrast between the operatic vocals and the intense, electronic instrumentation. I'm a sucker for that kind of dichotomy in music, where something that's frantic, dark or heavy is paired with something whimsical, light or subdued in some way. Another example of this that comes to mind is O'er The Flood by Goreshit ( https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jaF51Ti2ZiI" data-time=") which takes a steady and thoughtful piano piece and sets it to an intense drill 'n' bass drumline. Good stuff. This part of Tyrant also creates a real energy that I enjoy - it's music that I think can encourage you to overcome a difficult trial. It has two big problems though. One, the bass is so intense that it overpowers the song and even starts clipping at the top of its range (I think), which is just frustrating. Songs that are poorly mastered are a real pet peeve of mine. Two, once it reaches this part, it... doesn't really change a whole lot. It's really samey and doesn't have any melody or intrigue, which the song would need for me to call it something I genuinely like. It's just a bit disappointing. Pretty mixed opinions overall. --- ... <cite>MC_XD posted [p:905823538] in DireKrow R...
