Rippin- a playlist breakdown

This playlist represents a sort of juxtaposition. During the time I made it, my life was going through a sort of transition. Without going into details, let’s just say a lot was changing for me very quickly.  What had been peaceful and easy going for so long suddenly morphed into something violent and raging. From tranquility to chaos. That's the sort of contrast I wanted this playlist to embody. Almost every song begins with a slower, more melodic start, before crashing into a loud, fiery ensemble of guitars being ripped and drums being pounded.

Crockpot by Slothrust is the perfect example of this. It begins gently, easing the listener in with a slowly weeping guitar and a soft voiced singer, before snatching out the carpet from beneath you and slamming straight into an attack of a more punk sounding guitar along with heavy drums and bass chords.

So next time you're frustrated at the world, feeling like they are all against you, get into your car, put this playlist on, and turn the volume up all the way. I guarantee you will feel better when you get back.
