Rocky Balboa was OK but it’s got to STOP! This song just might get Slyvester Stallone to make another Rocky movie, which actually makes it lose one point. Is it just me, or would this song sound right at home in a Japanese role playing game, along the lines of Final Fantasy? Though it’s not quite my cup of techno-ish tea, the song builds to a fiery and rousing electronic symphony. Constantly tantalizing with what seems like a million glasses of water, being banged away on by a small army of clinkers. Jenkees drops the glassy beats quickly and cleverly. A soaring stroll through a synthesized land of rocking out. You start off thinking what the heck Ronald and before you know it you’re playing air guitar. Whoah, this track starts off sounding like quaint ballroom music and turns into a steadily building crescendo of synthesized guitar, piano and violin. The synthesized violin on this track and Ronald’s mad piano skills complement each other so well you’d think there’s two other musicians in the room with him. Though it’s a bit slow for my tastes, it has been growing on me. Ronald switches gears from the viciously loud Derty to the slow and gentle cascades of Neptune. Who needs soap when dirty sounds this good? “It’s got a real dirty sound, like a rusty steak knife cutting through a well aged steak.”ĭamn right it does RJ. Since Ronald describes this song so well, I’ll let him take over: It’s been a lot of fun watching this song progress from his YouTube video to a more refined version posted on his blog to this album cut.

The album starts out with one of my favorite songs, which is a great song all unto itself, but gets extra points for introducing Bill Simmons’s podcast.
