MS Pick - the Rapture
This song is for those of you wanting to find the breaking point of a set of speakers. The sonic demarcation between status-quo listening and a nightmare of popping bass and chronic hiss. I do not advocate premeditated destruction on what should be one of your most precious possessions. I'm just saying it would be a great candidate for such an experiment.
A much better idea is a retaliation plot for that bastard neighbor who decides cranking techno early on Saturday mornings is a good idea. High decibel revenge is a dish best served with the proper music. Chainsaw guitars, huge pulsating bass, and the reliable snare cadence are the sounds of "The Sound" that enamor. Posts given the MS Pick distinction will always be ones of praise (no matter how abstract), but even the most loved music gets lost in the studs when traveling through walls. Whether dancing with a friend seconds away from blowing out perfectly good speakers, or on the wrong side of the walls from a spiteful neighbor, this song should be played loud and often.
The band is in their final week of touring before finishing up in Los Angeles on the 20th. Full dates after the jump.
