Army of Me - Composition

Composition

The song is moderately low track, influenced by industrial rock and techno. The song partially samples the drum line of "When the Levee Breaks" by the Led Zeppelin. The drum track starts right after the beginning of the song, which starts with a sound of an explosion, and then it can be heard throughout the song.

The song is dominated by a heavy bass line and features synthesizer. Mim Udovitch has described the song as "grinding techno fusion".

Famous quotes containing the word composition:

    Give a scientist a problem and he will probably provide a solution; historians and sociologists, by contrast, can offer only opinions. Ask a dozen chemists the composition of an organic compound such as methane, and within a short time all twelve will have come up with the same solution of CH4. Ask, however, a dozen economists or sociologists to provide policies to reduce unemployment or the level of crime and twelve widely differing opinions are likely to be offered.
    Derek Gjertsen, British scientist, author. Science and Philosophy: Past and Present, ch. 3, Penguin (1989)

    Boswell, when he speaks of his Life of Johnson, calls it my magnum opus, but it may more properly be called his opera, for it is truly a composition founded on a true story, in which there is a hero with a number of subordinate characters, and an alternate succession of recitative and airs of various tone and effect, all however in delightful animation.
    James Boswell (1740–1795)

    Every thing in his composition was little; and he had all the weaknesses of a little mind, without any of the virtues, or even the vices, of a great one.
    Philip Dormer Stanhope, 4th Earl Chesterfield (1694–1773)
