Off-kilter rhythms, waves of synth noise, beats that make heavy use of the cymbals and various sounds that resemble chimes and bells, with a thick layer of gloom over it. It’s pretty much standard dubstep, which isn’t a bad thing. I’ve heard dubstep that’s a bit more dynamic, a bit more atmospheric than this, but 2562 delivers the raw sort of primal rhythms that fans of this stuff love. Given the right mood, this album really hits the spot but I don't see if achieving the sort of hype artists like Burial got. It just doesn't seem to do enough. It’s got spacey, dreamily atmospheric tunes and it has some more grimey, thumping beats. Nothing truly stunning, though, I thought the title track and “Aquatic Family Affair” were highlights and it’s an album I can see myself listening to from time to time.
