This track makes me feel fear. It doesn't tell me what fear feels like. It makes my heart beat fast as it unfolds a story of death and destruction. Clipping. is founded on the use of noise that makes the listener uncomfortable, sometimes to the point where it's unbearable. This track illustrates a stunning balance between noise, voice sampling and rap verses that keep pushing, as if time is running out.
I can't listen to this song without moving my body. My head rocks, and my fists clench. It makes me want to start a revolution. Not next week. Not tomorrow. Now. It gives a sense of urgency that I can only satisfy by moving my body against the world.
