The thing about crankdat's style is that it has little restraint or subtlety. This works well sometimes, but many other times it falls flat.
This track is a decent example of how Crankdat's lack of restraint hurts the song much more than it helps.
Not a combination of names you'd expect, but the result is pretty fun.
You ever had this feeling that a song is trying to hard to be heavy that it actively goes in the opposite direction?
Yeah.
Every so often I find myself rediscovering the fact that Tokyo Machine can make decent music.
That's a tearout song alright. I enjoy my fair share of tearout dubstep, but man, so much of this type of music just feels like it's spamming gun basses and trying to be as in your face as possible.

On 889's review of KILLMATTER - HELLDUST88 (REFLEX)

On MelCollector's review of Asper - DANGER
"NGL, I liked it better when the bar was on the side. It made the covers feel like they could be CD's idk."
On DubstepIsDead's review of Dylan Brady - Needle Guy
"Whenever a project is rated by non-edm fans it seems to get a lower score than it really deserves. Not always, but often enough that it makes a pattern."
On Space Laces - STAXX
"Space Laces, give me a full version of Whip It and I will do whatever you want."
On SVDDEN DEATH - Shallow Land Burial (Wooli Remix)
"@OctoMarkus the voyd compilations felt like a love letter to the Dubstep scene. This remix feels like Wooli got his hands on the SLB stems and slapped them on a track he already had made for clicks."
On OctoMarkus's review of Whales - Rise
"No amount of warning could have prepared me for that drop. Funniest song I've heard all week."
On OctoMarkus's review of Pixel Terror - TEARS DON'T FALL
"You said what I've been thinking for a while now. Compared to the Upgrade EP, Pixel Terrors new direction pales in comparison imo."
