Gestures of rock in the vocals, the rock gesture in the production, the manipulation of sound, sound being the manipulator in terms of cool versus sound being a manipulator in terms of your body. I feel like I should hate it more than I do, honestly. Talking about why this or that record, hip hop, NIN, is really male and hating all this macho rock posing. Whereas he's talking about how music that doesn't get to him can work for other people. I expected snark and taking potshots, I guess. A good remix of this (it's the least dancey of the cuts) could be the song of the year. It's like Queen meets Gang of Four!!! It's killing me. Several times all the music drops out, returning to that opening refrain. It starts off with an acapella two-part harmony of "1,2,3,4,5,6,7/I'm floating in a constant heaven," and then kicks into a really, really funky, broken Gang of Four gait. A heavy beat and a cutting guitar over a bass line that should be booming from a tricked-out Honda's trunk while two vocal lines weave in and out, intersect and mutate above it. "Killing" is maybe best described as punk-house. It's got those same keyboards as "I Need Your Love" along with the "HoJL" clangy guitars. "Sister Savior" is funky disco-electro - very laidback, smooth and the vocals are amazing. And after three listens, I think those three new tracks are the best cuts on here. I was thinking the EXACT same thing this morning about "I Need Your Love." So the sampler has "I Need Your Love," "Olio," "House of Jealous Lovers" and three new tracks.
