It's the fucking cymbals. Just listen to them towards the three quarter mark - they crash around like a drunken uncle at a wedding to which he wasn't invited. Cymbals - the fucking high-hat - they just bash their way through the song like they're supposed to be the stars themselves. Just shush and let us listen to Alela, please.

My concerns about the specific type of drumming used aside, it really is a wonderful song. I’m glad you put White As Diamonds on the Toadcast.
