It needs some aggressive dubstep wobbles and some grime lyrics.
Just kidding it sounded alright to me, pretty mellow. Like a flaming lips type of feel.
Are you ready for the fire? We are firemen. WE ARE FIREMEN! The heat doesn’t bother us. We live in the heat. We train in the heat. It tells us that we’re ready, we’re at home, we’re where we’re supposed to be. Flames don’t intimidate us. What do we do? We control the flame. We control them. We move the flames where we want to. And then we extinguish them.
Impersonation is treason.

A bit repetitive but pleasant.

Dude I fucking dig it. I like how the main melody feels like it sort of falling behind a bit. Makes the notes seem deliberate. But yeah its cool and moody. I see some people saying it's repetitive and I can understand that, but I don't think it's lacking anything sonically, but instead visually. This would go great under a movie.
I can't remember where this verse is from, I think it got removed from canon:
"I don't hang around with mostly men because I'm gay. It's because men are better than women. Better trained, better equipped...better. Just better! I'm not gay."
For context, this is the previous verse:
"Hi Jesus" -robvalue

Yeah, I like that it's in six, and that the melody's notes fall on off-beats -- it gives it a lurching feel that works against the electro-ambience, which is usually a genre filled with tight pockets. The contrast between the two elements, sonus and groove, gives it an unsettling tension that's almost troubling, and then accentuated with the Wilder sample.
It evokes darker feelings and a smoldering intensity.

I really like it.
I am a bit unsettled by the E coming in on the offbeat, but I think that's intentional.
This is the kind of stuff I listen to when I study or read. I've put Hammy's soundcloud channel on when I tire of my Spotify study list, too.
ETA: I like "Existential Hoops" even more!
"There remain four irreducible objections to religious faith: that it wholly misrepresents the origins of man and the cosmos, that because of this original error it manages to combine the maximum servility with the maximum of solipsism, that it is both the result and the cause of dangerous sexual repression, and that it is ultimately grounded on wish-thinking." ~Christopher Hitchens, god is not Great

This is a pretty good beat to spit some rhymes to.

I didn't know you did music, FNM. I enjoyed listening to this. Great job!
"Of course, everyone will claim they respect someone who tries to speak the truth, but in reality, this is a rare quality. Most respect those who speak truths they agree with, and their respect for the speaking only extends as far as their realm of personal agreement. It is less common, almost to the point of becoming a saintly virtue, that someone truly respects and loves the truth seeker, even when their conclusions differ wildly."
