And I thought this was going to be about the video game! It then describes a fight between a tarantula and a giant you can guess what. I thought the video was going to be a nature documentary. Then it reminds me of the opening of Michael Jackson's Beat It with the "pounding" deep bass sound. But I discover the initial dialog is just a teaser completely unrelated to the song (other than maybe this is what the fight between them could be imagined as being choreographed to).
I'm trying to discover what that is called. Techno, electronic, or someting else? Is it supposed to be remininiscent of the video game? It is different, and while I can't say I like it, I can't say I dislike it, either. I did listen to all of it, and, while I don't see myself being interested in this sort of music, i.e. it's not my cup of hot chocolate (I don't really care for tea), I can't say it was a waste of time. I think it might work as a "palate cleanser" if one had too many similar "elevator music" songs playing in the background.
Going to the "watch this on YouTube" page, it refers to this as "dubstep." So this is the sort of music that refers to. Wikipedia refers to that as "a genre of electronic dance music." Well, I got it right, I did say I thought it was electronic. I have a suspicion that this sort of music, or rather, this genre of music, is more of an acquired taste.
And, I think I can say I've written a message on point for a change.

Yup, "dubstep" as they call it. Honestly, I never even really got into much of it aside from a few tracks that ICJ used in his games! However, I heard this song play on the college radio station going into work one morning and really liked the "theme" of the song. Basically, dark science. The intro sounds metal as the guy starts talking and then yes, after the build-up the song turns into a completely sporadic mess.
Glad you checked it out and told us what you think!
