The song "Pumped Up Kicks" by Foster The People is very extremely and inexplicably meh. Disregarding the fact that in actuality the song has an absolutely gruesome and violent undertone and message, the song itself sounds like it was recorded in a train tunnel. There are no acoustics in the recording, sound just reverberates everywhere and anywhere it pleases, creating a distracting echo-esque effect. The instrumentals are very basic and mediocre, and the vocalist is not exceptionally talented. This song is just another sub-par song made popular by the current generation's obsession with artists with a very low amount of talent that make music with negative lyrical messages.
