Two years from Hamburg to this. ### Picked by [Twice Over](https://waxonia.com/theme/twice-over/) The most efficient two minutes in the ranking it sits in — a band still young enough to think the job was to make somebody scream. Nothing here predicts either of the next two entries, which is precisely why they are worth putting beside it. ## Analysis 2 sections, the first drop of 2 at 0:03, 2% of the way in. - **Tempo:** 152 BPM — holds throughout - **Dynamic range:** 2.4 dB — compressed hard — very little between the quiet and the loud - **Length:** 2:18 - `0:00` A · **peak**, sung — sits at the top of this record's range — playing: drums, bass, vocals, other - `2:02` B · **outro** (bar 78), sung — the closing fall — playing: drums, vocals, other **Drops** at 0:03 (bar 2), 2:05 (bar 80).
