SINGLE REVIEW: Masseducation - Blame
'Dancefloor filler 'Blame' bursts in with an instantly addictive energy and a high-tempo groove. The vocals possess pop qualities along with a robust indie rock stance that can be likened to modern-day Coldplay or a more melodious Arctic Monkeys. It's an accessible track that's raucous enough to attract rock fans while also leveraging pop melodies to appeal to a broader, mainstream audience. Funky riffs interplay against percussive, rhythmic drums and crisp basslines. The shifts in energy lend an experimental touch and imbue the track with a darker aura.
The lyrics are thoughtful, exploring the theme of cause and effect, highlighting how those with delusions of grandeur eventually face downfall, while those who have suffered their wrongdoings seek revenge or relish their demise.
There's a confident, somewhat pretentious air to 'Blame,' with theatrical and artistic tendencies that mirror the drama within the lyrics perfectly. It presents a diverse and appealing sound, complete with impactful lyrics and a hypnotic groove."
