A maximalist collision of stadium rock, funk, and electronic experimentation. High-concept songs about entropy delivered with operatic vocals and jagged synths.
September 26, 2012 · Warner Records
The 2nd Law is the sound of a band throwing every available sonic resource at the wall to see what sticks, resulting in a thrillingly chaotic collage. It is a record that feels like a frantic channel-surf through the anxieties of the early 2010s, jumping from the slap-bass strut of 80s funk to the aggressive, mechanical wobbles of dubstep without a moment's hesitation. The atmosphere is one of high-stakes drama, where even a song about a newborn child is treated with the same symphonic weight as a global energy crisis.
