"Hah. Well, first of all as a technique his use of contrast is of course very intriguing. Even if I don't like how he executes it. Like, what kinds of contrasts he is choosing and what kinds of sounds he's using and what kind of clichés. His success seems to be based on this contrast between cheesy melodies and the evil dubstep cliché. And, without the contrast, it would be completely unbearable. If it would be only the evil dubstep cliché sounds you would immediately want to turn it off after ten minutes. If it would be only the cheesy melodies and vocals, then it would be unbearable. The combination is what makes it interesting to me."

I'm listening to "Wasting Light" thru my headphones at a loud volume, which is bad for my ears but good for my heart. The more I listen to it, the more it creeps up my list of All Time best albums. The dirty sound of analog recording appeals to my ears. Thanks for creating a masterpiece @FooFighters
