(6?, 6, 6.5)

[PROS: Highly unique, infectiously catchy, Resident Evil reference, I actually like being given the censored version.

CONS: That one line makes me want to throw the song in the trash. Probably going to end up at a 6, though I could see myself moving it significantly in either direction. It shall depend entirely on how I feel that day.]

This, perhaps ironically, turned out to be one of the most consistent songs on the list, as I always have the same reaction to it. I love how unique the sound is. As someone on YouTube jokingly put it:

"Hip-hop, heavy metal, reggae, pop, dubstep, and even some symphonic elements. It's... it's... Heavy-hip reggal popstep."

The chorus is instantly memorable and stuck in my head and it's generally a very well made song. I just have a very low tolerance for lyrics that come off homophobic and as soon as we got to that line about salt boy, this song...

And before you attack me for overreacting, I have nothing against the singer personally. Actually, he seems like a really cool dude--I love that there's an interview where he declares that he has no guilty pleasures because he's not ashamed of anything and that he could go to a gym wearing a Downton Abbey shirt if he wanted, because he doesn't care what anyone thinks. He's just so comfortable with himself and comes off so cool that I'm a little envious. I might even try looking into some of their other songs eventually because I'm not going to condemn them over one line of one song.

...but I'm also not going to give an outstanding score to the song with a line like that either.
