From the 3rd single “ANTHEM,” released in March 2010.

At first it seems like a song built on a straightforward, melodic two-beat throughout, but sure enough, a touch of dub reggae slips in, giving it an emo feel.

Because everything outside the chorus runs on an energetic two-beat, the chorus itself feels all the more expansive.
