Fear no reaper.
With villains - as with life - size disproportionately matters.
Plus, the scythe is nothing more than a show-prop; even if licking the blade is far from recommended. At any rate, the problem at hand must still be addressed. When trouble comes to a head society will be at a lack for slingshot maestros. No Philistine is willing to simply take himself down and repeating old cliches only helps so much. True heroes would much rather act than consider the alternative. Surprise the opposition before it calls in support! Remember readers, even more problematic than the monster itself is the bride that lurks behind him.
Any beast with two backs - and further supported by wood - is sure to instill apprehension.
The solution, however, is easy to comprehend. Presented in short, audio format "Daga Daga Daggering #2" suggests limiting opposition in the span of ten minutes. Resistance is deemed futile. Listeners are instead left at the mercy of riding waves created by the Swamp Thing itself. With assistance from dancehall toasting - varying in language (English/French) and point of origin (Jamaica/West Indies) - the tide is aggressive; but such is to be expected from the Parisian Maréchal K'nibal, aboard his minimal, albeit intriguing, vessel. Rhythm is usually three layers deep; always active. Of particular note is the triplet swing on the fifth selection (about five songs deep). Still, the old-school is unshakeable. Sped-up dembow percussion is prevalent - through drums, claps, or otherwise - in addition to the occasional rapid-fire 90s spitter. Far from an exercise in nostalgia, though, new ideas are heard as well, primarily the reverse influence on the bass during the 8th selection. Transitions are alarmingly clean, often engaging in the fade while both songs are simultaneously playing.
