Every time I listen to Dangerous Days I'm always a bit disappointing with the first few tracks. Pertubator's Theme just doesn't hit me very hard and is kind of a weak opener. The bass in particular is not nearly as driving as the song deserves or needs... and that is about the last you'll hear me say anything negative about this album.
As the album progresses the songs get stronger, until you get to the absolute mammoth sized middle tracks. She is Young, She is Beautiful, She's Next is an absolute synthwave/darksynth masterpiece. The intensity and urgency that this song brings is crazy. It has a paranoia to that is completely undeniable. It's easily one of my favorite songs on the albums and probably one of my favorite synthwave songs period.
And then there is Humans Are Such Easy Prey... this shit is peak Pertubator. The way that the bass drives the song as well as the d e e p tones that come every so often give me goosebumps and when played at optimal volumes will shake the entire house. You can't get better than this, don't even try.
The rest of the songs range from good to absolutely fucking incredible. This is simply one of the single best records that has been put out in the last ten years, and is Pertubator's best effort to date. Unquestionably essential.
