The vocals are pleasant enough.
Difficult to tell from that sort of music bit too repetitive for my liking.
Pretty sure that song could be over in a minute if it followed a pop structure.

Its dance floor drum'n'bass. It's designed to be listened too while off your nips on acid.

Sounds more like drum and drum on my iPad but that does explain a lot.
Never did the whole acid thing but I do like DnB when drunk.

So all these years you've been downing alcohol before checking out my music?

All these years I've been drunk, or driving very fast while listening to your music.
Plus your music is more inventive and less repetitive. It doesn't rely on bass drops to survive.

Thanks young man. Of course, the fact I am crap at writing good drops has nothing to do with it, obviously.

Great voice and I love the use of the brass
well i gave it about 5 seconds and that was 5 seconds too much. sounds exactly the same as all the rest of that drivel that people seem to think is music.
as you can tell its not my cup of tea. but each to their own and all that and i wish here all the best in her career.
if she was singing this then i may have listened. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=NJiC6cA3dUA

I'll listen to Nina Simone if I want a tranquiliser - Boring.

Led Zeplin ... fair enough.
Move with the times people, music moves on. Might not be your thing but you can't stay stuck in one generation forever. And just because your ears are stuffed with cotton doesn't mean something like this isn't packed with creativity and original content.

you don't think it's a tad repetitive for casual listening?
What is casual listening? I listen to slow slushy love songs when I'm getting ready for bed (... as in sleep, you filthy minds). I listen to dancehall for a taste of home. I listen to the Prodigy on a Friday night when its time to go out. I listen to house/dance/energetic music on the bike. I listen to classical when I'm in the mood. I listen to Balearic type chill out stuff on a nice sunny day when nothing's doing and a beer in my hand. I still listen to this for a laugh:

Prodigy has a LOT more variety and complexity that the song in the OP's link. I quite like a lot of prodigy's stuff.

Is this like a proper cousin or just one of those my mum and dad were mates with her mum and dad so its almost like we're related doo-hickys.
Either way the track is great, I do love a Rudimental.
In fact thats just reminded me they released the album the other week :) cheers I'll get that now.

Mate the album is deluxe, the rudimental lads just get it. Also, 2 of them graduated from Leeds Met (Music Technology).... Also absolutely oustanding live, saw them at YO1 festival not so long ago. Get tickets.

Proper blood relative. Actually my first cousin once removed - Ella's mother Teresa is my direct first cousin, her late mum was my mum's sister. In our family our cousins' kids are regarded as our cousins too.
FWIW, I was a fan of Rudimental way before this track came about. They're different and bringing something new to music as well as involving upcoming artistes such as Ella and John Newman in their work, which is how it should be.

This kind of drum'n'bass is formulaic, but it has to be for the mix. It's standard fare to develop a short hook and then just pad it out with subtle variations of the same hook. This is to make it predictable for a DJ.
Ya know, this music was never intended to be sat down and listened to from a YouTube channel while you're on your lappy. The genre came about for pill heads at raves. Each track generally get's 2 minutes in a mix, where the hook holds its own until the next track comes in. It's evolved somewhat over the last few decades but essentially the formula is exactly the same.
I don't know why drum'n'bass has become commercial in the last few years, but it has. Pendulum seemed to be one of the first to make it more mainstream, but I suspect it's the work of advertisers using it more and more in trailers and for games that has pushed it into the limelight. Now obviously it's in the limelight, people are bound to compare it to rock and pop music (which is formulaic in it's own way, but that's another discussion). Can't blame em.
Just know it's a style that's been around since the early 90s, that has always been designed around dancefloor mix sets for people off their faces who just want to dance. I do believe though if artists like Rudimental do want to be seen as credible with discerning electronic music listeners, they do need to change what they're doing. Drop the formula and take a leaf out of Prodigy, Massive Attack, Gorrliaz etcs books and start writing music that evolves, otherwise they will always be the bog standard drum'n'bass producers who use more commercial hooks, and nothing more.
Fallout, you're obviously into producing so can't account for your opinion of the technical aspects. But as a fan of this genre, for me, they're simply doing what is fashionable and popular at the moment.
I don't think its any less meritorious than Prodigy because what they did was a moment in time back then. I don't know what they've done recently (apart from Flint trying to be a bike racer) but the older stuff is what I regard as legendary.
That's the best of what music is isn't it? A moment in time capturing people's imagination? There's a golden age of music in every generation and there's a lot of good stuff which gets overlooked too and is only recognised years later.
I don't think Rudimental are unique but I do think they're good. Whether they survive imo has less to do with their ability to adapt the stuff they're doing now, which is popular. Rather, its any musician's ability to adapt to a different moment in time, when fashion shifts. Which is why people like Madonna maintain their popularity (in general).
Drum and bass was commercial way before pendulum. Remember MBeat and General Levi on Top of the pops?
You've also had the likes of Goldie and Roni Size in the late 90s.
Pendulum are more like rock music with fast drums if you ask me. Still like them though and they are great live.
The sort of track in the op is pop music and nothing more, it's not going to be played much at clubs and if it is it will be more of an instrumental mix as it will clash with the annoying MCs gibbering on about smoking weed. Which is the main reason I stopped going to D&B nights.
Personally I much prefer this commercial stuff much more.
I noticed a lot of new style music getting into films.
watched the re make of Total Recall.
I'm sure I heard this in the chase sequence.

Fallouts not talking about the type of music so much as how the song evolves over its length. Prodigy songs evolve and change from start to finish, this doesn't so much. It stays constant.
Fallout delved into the reasons behind it and he cares about the reasons behind it. I just know what I'd prefer to listen to and that would be a (re)mix of this so it too changes over the course of the song instead of being ready for a DJ to mix and remaining static.

Didn't like that, it sounds like the sort of thing chav nobbers play in their Saxos and Fiestas at the local car cruise. It's certainly not what I'd call dance music because there's no decent beat or hook to it.

Yes, what I referred to as the "technical aspects" (which I cannot comment on). But the comment also spoke of the long term appeal of this type of formulaic track and I wanted to give my perspective as a fan of this type of music.
My feeling is I could (and did) listen to it all the way through. The live performance aspect enhances the pleasure for me, and the track itself is pleasing enough as its energetic. Its not easy to sing this sort of repetitive track and maintain a good standard.
Some live performances are just dreadlful. I heard Rod Stewart live the other day. Sounded like he was dying!

Yeah, Ad is on the money. Prodigy, Gorillaz, Massive Attack were given as examples of electronic music which has various sections throughout enhancing their lasting appeal. This is why people still talk about their old albums now. Formulaic drum'n'bass tends to peak in the here and now and then get superseded by other tunes in a fairly short time (as does much pop music, surprise surprise). At the end of the day as good as the 'hook' is, the compositions are generally weak and it's true composition that stands the test of time.
I think it's a good track and I listened to it all the way through too, but it won't be a keeper for years to come. I'd just like to see more commercial drum'n'bass producers break away from the formula, keep the same tempo and style, but create entire compositions which tell more of a story.
