'Run With The Wolves' powers through the sound barrier like a force of nature with the help of Dave Grohl on drums, creating a simple yet powerful drum beat that speeds along for its duration. While the drumming is good, the synthesizer effects are great. From the menacing, emulated guitar riff to the grinding phasing of the synth led chorus, the song really is an attack on the senses in every way possible. There is so much going on here it could easily have been a mess in less experienced hands but a seasoned Howlett pulls all of these elements together seamlessly, creating some of the best controlled chaos the group has ever mustered up. The genius of the track comes from its shifting mechanics, not resting on just one effect but incorporating more and more turbo injected sounds into the songs arsenal giving it a spontaneous and unpredictable edge that the group thrive on. This highly futuristic, Blade Runner inspired trailblazer is an adrenaline fueled rush from start to finish.
