Personally, I think the lyrics perfectly capture the way this generation thinks, but actually, how people think in general. Once again, this song is about hedonism and enjoying life while it lasts. The song is also featured as an acoustic version at the end of the album. Little touches like remixing and auto-tuning single words or sounds (by-by-by-bye), typical Skrillex bass drops and extreme distortions.Īfter a standard Krewella track, Come & Get it, comes one of the quieter, almost introspective songs with Enjoy the Ride. The song is immediately followed by what’s possibly my favorite track on the record We Go Down. The album kicks off with Live for the Nightwhich is a great party track, that sets the tone for the other thirteen tracks that follow. To me it’s probably the vocals and the upbeat melodies. Even if Krewella’s sound isn’t exactly original and their lyrics are hardly profound, they still posses something indescribable, a spark that makes them somewhat unique. Being a huge Skrillex fanatic, I have found that many try to imitate his unique style, but not many succeed. That’s also how I found out about Krewella. Notably Krewella’s vocals on an already great track by Skrillex ( Summit), made the song Breathe fantastic, almost an orgasm for the ears ( eargasm?). However accidental these existentialist tones may actually be, the musical influences from dub-step legend Sonny Moore aka Skrillex are more than obvious. While this may sound beyond superficial, it’s an interesting and equally valid lifestyle or worldview. By that they mean: drink and fuck, while you’re young. Much like their previous work Get Wet is about partying and enjoying life while it lasts. Nothing’s new in terms of sound or lyrics, which only seems to confirm my theory. In the case of Get Wet there is no noticeable difference. Usually, even if the band wants to keep the exact same sound their new work always sounds slightly different and updated.

The record sounds like an uncut version of their Play Hard EP, in fact I wouldn’t be surprised if the label wouldn’t let them release a full LP, so they just held on to the songs only to release them a year later. There's nothing groundbreaking or profound happening, but there's something to be said for big, mindless fun, and Krewella do that better and with a more human touch than most of their peers.Get Wet is the début album by Chicago based electronic dance music group Krewella. Get Wet is full of trite lyrics, lunk-headed anthems, and predictable production, and it's absolutely great. "Dancin' with the Devil," a moody collaboration with both Fall Out Boy's Patrick Stump and blink-182's Travis Barker, doesn't sound too out of place, but follows the reckless flow of the rest of the album. Even the chopped-up samples and brutally over-driven bass synths of "Killin' It" are so cleanly arranged, there's an undercurrent of craftsmanship that makes the would-be messy song seem more considered than constructed. The songs here, while not interchangeable, feel cut from the same cloth, and their hyperactive approach somehow transcends disposable pop product and becomes something really positive and giving. "We Go Down" rides a hectic dubstep beat, and "Alive" slows things down slightly with a more inspirational feel, but the album is still upbeat and party-centric.
Opening track "Live for the Night" blasts through different segments of pounding four-on-the-floor beats, smoky interludes, and a melodic chorus that builds infinitely on a familiar but reliable chord progression.
This might sound grating or even clueless, and in some ways it is, but more than that, Krewella's ceaseless party rhetoric is a necessary element of what makes their music the enormous and completely fun experience it is. The 12 tracks that make up Get Wet are a non-stop rush of escapist fantasy, mired with nightlife cliches of the "I'll sleep when I'm dead" and "Go hard or go home" variety, painting an impossible picture of an endless party where the bottles never stop popping. While sometimes thrown under the dubstep banner in their earlier days, the sound here is pure party pop, more ready for commercial radio play than the club, but still with plenty of dubstep breakdowns and heavy electronic production. Chicago's EDM trio Krewella are larger than life on their debut full-length Get Wet.
