My Madness Says What I Must Do Relieve The Pain With Eating You

And to confirm the earlier question, it's Marcel Woods and not Michael. And... my opinion? Great tune, love both mixes!

Like the intro n outro but the rest is boring.
Which is sad cuz I was looking forward to this tune.

I prefer Marcel Woods Remix... the other one isn't bad though...

Yeh, this remix by Marcel Woods is slightly better than the Original..
Nice release overall.

to be honest, im kinda disappointed - but i was bound to be after holding such high expectations.

they're a quality team whether its remixing OR producing, they can certainly do better and i know they will.

but for the meantime back to "Exceelllllssiiiiisssssss".

I realy disagree with what people say about the title, I think its one of the best song titles ive heard for aaaaages, I love it!!! Just because its long, doesnt mean its crap

The Original mix is fantastic, I love the buildup and what they do with the beats and the quiet bits and its all just so so good. You have to listen to it loud though.

The Marcell Woods remix, while still good, isnt AS good imo. It just doesnt have the moodyness of the original.

Another stormer from S.H.O.K.K. and currently one of my faves. They do dark sooooo well, more please!!!

It's really interesting that people are so split on this one!

I absolutely love this baby. 10/10. I disagree that it lacks the SHOKK "magic" or the "mystery". On the contrary!!!!

What's awesome is that despite a slight departure from their (formulaic) style, it still retains that SHOKK feel. The melody/bass combo is just to die for, IMO. The different song elements combine together to produce a wonderfully dark and thoughtful SHOKK tune. Although the melody might be a little "simple", it is anything but simple when it comes to its effectiveness, IMO.

Now for the song title - I LOVE it! To tell you the truth I first found out about this track when browsing through a local vinyl shop. I laughed my ass off when I saw it. The title is very unique and very nifty! Just because it's strange doesn't mean it automatically "sucks."

Anyway my view for SHOKK has only risen after this release.

EDIT: I forgot to say that this track is a welcome relief and a fresh change from all the "regular" SHOKK releases. That alone makes it good. It's natural that many will automatically not like it because it's different compared to what they expected. But I recommend you listen to it again with a fresh mind and get rid of your pre-formed expectations.
