Eleven
I’m making some ringtones for my phone and found that it’s
interestingly easy to tell how much a song rocks just by looking at
its waveform in Audacity. Take
some known, non-rockin song like “Karma Chameleon” by the Culture Club:

And compare it with one of the most blisteringly rockin songs ever
written -
href="http://dropdead.swizcorp.com/sounds/2nd_LP/18Dropdead-WhatOncewasLife.mp3">“What
Once Was Life” by Dropdead (if you don’t know this song you should
immediately turn up your speakers to maximum volume and kick out these
jams):

The incredible thing is how Dropdead manage to take this tune from its
initial skullcrushing ferocity to the interplanetary destruction. This is eleven.

And to think I saw Dropdead not once, but TWICE! Why must my hardcore past continue to haunt me - why!?!?!?
