 | this music, this is really the worst thing i could imagine i cannot stand it
 it is great if warp wants to do something different i'm all
 for it, but really, for every awful signing they should try
 to sign something good, or maybe even every two awful
 signings, try to do something right..

 sound...rude awakening this...what is mathematical about
 this Marilyn Manson-Beautiful People beat slowed down..is

 okay as an indie rock track this is not bad at all, but
 after the false impressions i was harbouring...i want my old

 | Math rock uses fractals and algorithms and mathematical formulas to determine how their songs develop and chord
 structures and percussions are used. I don't know about
 indie rock and whether this is good for it. Its probably not
 because I actually like it. I have heard two battles songs,
 and I liked both. This song really catches you after
 repeated listening.
