World Gone Crazy (I’ve Got You)
World Gone Crazy (I've Got You) is the latest single from nu-metal outfit and Noise Music Mentorship alumni Trust The Chaos. They seem to be trying out something new here - from their synth usage for the main refrain, to adding more sections to their established sound. Props to the guys for trying out something new in their music, but it seems to be lacking...a little something.
There are redeeming things about the song - noticeably the killer bass tone, which probably ranks amongst the best bass performances that TTC has had so far. But large parts of World Gone Crazy are sabotaged by the mix. Especially compared to their other tracks, the single's low end is truly lacking, sapping all the power the song holds. I can tell that they are trying to add in more layers and instruments into the song, but perhaps a focus on improving one aspect may have led them to overlook an important one.
It's not a problem that just plagues the bass either. Li En's vocals in the mix seem to mismatched as well - !or someone whose vocals is a nice searing tenor (fully displayed in the second pre-chorus) it is left by itself for relatively the entire song. Too forward in the mix, without harmonies in the choruses to support it, her voice stands out awkwardly, making for a strange listening experience. Even just a little more reverb might solidify it.
With their prior release being the Unravel EP in 2019, I think I expected something spectacular for this release. It has been quite awhile since Trust The Chaos released new music, after all. But with a few refinements to their new direction, their next few efforts might be more successful.
