The beginning of the second chorus section is out of sync. “When my plans,” it starts, but Roland Gift says it a little too fast. It’s a technical flaw that could’ve been fixed with a redo or post delay. How it got by, after being either ignored or accepted by the people involved, and made it onto a major album release is beyond me.
The rest sounds fine. The techno beat is mixed at a considerably lower volume than the vocals, which is abnormal for the genre, but it doesn’t bother me. I’m more bothered by the fact that I’m not bothered by Roland Gift’s homoerotic falsetto. In fact, I like it, especially when he screams the title phrase like a mad woman.
