Brightness and density are scored against this record's own sections, not against music in general — they say how its parts differ from each other, and nothing about how it compares to anything else.

Against Drum and Bass
Drops where Drum and Bass usually drops — 12% of the way in.
8 sections here; 9 is typical.
Drawn from the 13 records on our Drum and Bass list we have measured. The line over the energy curve above is that median.
Measured from the YouTube master on . Section labels describe how the energy of the recording moves, not its musical form — a machine can see loudness climb and jump, it cannot hear a chorus arrive. Anything we were not confident enough to state is left out rather than shown with a caveat.
Ranked No. 14 in Drum and Bass
Sound design as songwriting. Every element is synthetic and every one of them hooks — the cleanest demonstration of what modern studio technique brought to the form.
