Number 10: "Wolf Like Me"- TV On The Radio

Songs about love are so frequent and often times irritating that it comes as a relief to hear a song like "Wolf Like Me." The song describes the desire not for love or attention or anything romantic of that nature, but an almost psychotic lust for sex.  The song has a certain intensity  that boils over layers and layers of static and white noise that builds to an explosive conclusion. It never feels like a particularity fast song yet that doesn't stop it from feeling like an adrenaline rush. The songs conclusion is easily the huge payoff that the entire song seems to be pushing for. Once its done however, the feeling of intensity it creates doesn't leave you . The feeling that you get is kind of like watching a good horror movie. You know you're watching (in this case listening) to something that is morally wrong and at times shocking but man, its just so damn good!
