“Best Drops Ever” is a page on SoundCloud that is exactly what its title portrays: the best drops to ever grace the face of dubstep music (if you call dubstep music, that is) and maybe even planet Earth.
The Best Drops Ever page consists of only nine songs, the longest of which being two minutes and 53 seconds titled “A Drop So Euphoric That Your Landlord Will Turn Into A Box Of Kittens”. The rest of the tracks typically float around 1 minute which keeps it nice, sweet, and short.
My favorite song made by the greatest musician in my limited knowledge of human history, creator of the Best Drops Ever page, Mister_Wang (twitter username) is a track titled, “A Drop So Crazy You’ll Kill Your Family.”
It sits at a short 46 seconds, but the artist has a way of making every second feel like individual lifetimes in which nothing ever went wrong: you were adored by your parents, admired by your peers, found love early in your long life and peacefully passed away with your significant other in sleep (your family wasn’t too cut up- all they could think about was the great life you lead.)
“A Drop So Crazy You’ll Kill Your Family,” is simply revolutionary. I’m not saying I would kill my family over the song, but I’m just saying that if my family were in the room while I happened to be cleaning a sledge hammer and the song started playing… I just wouldn’t want to be tempted, that’s all.
The song begins with clean, metallic, techno energy. I’d compare it to riding a steel, fire-breathing unicorn through a field of goblins at combat. And then the track builds, the bass hits faster, the synth gets higher and the beat drops HARD… into an advertisement for the new Filet O’ Fish at McDonalds.
Another song that brought tears to my eyes was “A Drop So Insane You’ll Suddenly Only Like Movies With Tim Allen In Them.” It stands at 55 seconds and is similar to the others. The beat comes in, there’s a steady build and suddenly the beat drops into a mind-twisting, gravity-canceling, tumor-bursting drop as “Fireflies” by Owl City bleeds through the speakers.
I know what you’re thinking, “these songs can’t possibly be as good as you say they are” but they ARE and you are WRONG.
If I had to give the “Best Drops Ever” page a rating (which is similar to rating God on how well He created the Heavens and the Earth: impossible) then I would have to go with a ∞/10, because it gets better every time you listen to it.
Now if you’ll excuse me, I just listened to some more tracks and now I have to change by pants and clean my whole house.
