you're implying that i'm having an irrational reaction
this is not the case
let's do a play by play
intro: wrong foot already. while not bad all on its own, this sort of looped-up intro immediately signifies bad times to come. the dregs of awful club music so depressing that it sucks the will out of you. maybe it's not even euro; i could hear this on hit stations here, late at night when they all roll out their putrid "club mixes" of popular songs so bad that i fall into a resentful and protracted sourness.
from then on it fulfills its potential and skips into this lazy mix of the most ill-conceived bass, handclaps, pads, and as a final piece of this enormous terror cake, an inexplicable addition of the woefully overused lyn collins sample.
then the vocal samples kick in, and it's possibly the stupidest, most asinine thing you could do with them, crassly looping snatches together to vaguely encourage joe dickhead to bobble about and get away with it. assorted distracted samples fly in and out in a procession of foul taste and bad decisions and, in a nutshell, it's everything awful the early 90s had to offer in terms of dance music.
if i wanted dumb house i can listen to Hostage, at least his kind of wanton stupidity has the sense to have some weight behind it and be pretty fun instead of this Virgin Megastore fodder. this is like the pork rinds you find in the back of convenience stores: empty calories, weightless, and tastes bad to boot.
