Since I mostly think in terms of movies, I thought of Federico Fellini’s I Vitelloni, which seems to capture the same feeling. Pass the Love Around is a very picturesque, slightly melancholic song about the life after the party or more precisely the moment you realize the party is going to end. Usually that just leads to them ruining their own songs, which were already fine, so I’m glad they left it it untouched. We Are One is another filler, while Dancing with the Devil features vocals by Fall Out Boy’s Patrick Stump and sick drums by Travis Barker (Blink-182, Transplants).Īlivefrom the Play Hard EP was included sans changes, which is a good thing, most of the time artists feel they need to “update” or touch-up their songs a little bit to make them more current. Personally, I think the lyrics perfectly capture the way this generation thinks, but actually, how people think in general. Once again, this song is about hedonism and enjoying life while it lasts. The song is also featured as an acoustic version at the end of the album. Little touches like remixing and auto-tuning single words or sounds (by-by-by-bye), typical Skrillex bass drops and extreme distortions.Īfter a standard Krewella track, Come & Get it, comes one of the quieter, almost introspective songs with Enjoy the Ride. The song is immediately followed by what’s possibly my favorite track on the record We Go Down. The album kicks off with Live for the Nightwhich is a great party track, that sets the tone for the other thirteen tracks that follow. To me it’s probably the vocals and the upbeat melodies. Even if Krewella’s sound isn’t exactly original and their lyrics are hardly profound, they still posses something indescribable, a spark that makes them somewhat unique. Being a huge Skrillex fanatic, I have found that many try to imitate his unique style, but not many succeed. That’s also how I found out about Krewella.
Notably Krewella’s vocals on an already great track by Skrillex ( Summit), made the song Breathe fantastic, almost an orgasm for the ears ( eargasm?). However accidental these existentialist tones may actually be, the musical influences from dub-step legend Sonny Moore aka Skrillex are more than obvious. While this may sound beyond superficial, it’s an interesting and equally valid lifestyle or worldview. By that they mean: drink and fuck, while you’re young.
Much like their previous work Get Wet is about partying and enjoying life while it lasts. Nothing’s new in terms of sound or lyrics, which only seems to confirm my theory. In the case of Get Wet there is no noticeable difference. Usually, even if the band wants to keep the exact same sound their new work always sounds slightly different and updated.

The record sounds like an uncut version of their Play Hard EP, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if the label wouldn’t let them release a full LP, so they just held on to the songs only to release them a year later.
