What? Red and Black less repetitive than Rime???
Absolutely, yes.
Rime starts off with a 1-2 second intro, then goes right into the main rhythm which is repeated thousands of times throughout the entire song.
duga dug duga dug duga dug
This pattern goes from 2 seconds through to the 1 minute mark, then there is a harmony part which goes for about 8 seconds, then right back to duga dug duga dug duga dug for the next 7 seconds, then the harmony again for a few brief seconds then back to duga dug duga dug duga dug
from 1.22 through to 1.41 then the "sailing on and on" part which is repeated twice and takes us to the 2 minute mark then back to duga dug duga dug duga dug to 2.15 then "the curse goes on" to the same tune of "sailing on and on" repeated twice. then back to duga dug duga dug duga dug
Finally at the 3 minute mark after all this tedious repetition it speeds up a little, "There goes the mariner..." dugada dugada dugada dugada <pause> dugada dugada dugada dugada Then it repeats this part again "But how can she sail... dugada dugada dugada dugada <slight pause> dugada dugada dugada dugada "See, onward she comes" then it immediately repeats this tune/rhythm, "See, she has no crew...", Then it goes to "Death and she life and death" which is a repeat of the tune from "There goes the mariner" dugada dugada dugada dugada <pause> dugada dugada dugada dugada which is again repeated twice. At the 5 minute mark you then get the quiet part which is just a short phrase repeated over and over and over again for the next 2 and half minutes. You get some instrumentals and stuff then at 11:15 back to the duga dug duga dug duga dug all the rest of the song is just a repeat of the beginning part of the song, this drags on for the next 2 and a quarter minutes.
It's a highly repetitive song.
