I had always heard the song earlier on the cheap boxes and because I liked it so much it is used as the first sound check for my new boxes. At first I was scared and thought my boxes were broken, because the chorus a permanent "noise" can be heard, which sounds to digital clipping. It does not sound as if it were a deliberately used stylistic device, because it sounds consistently and insistently. If it has been effectively targeted by the producers, it does not please me at least.
On good boxing I can not hear the song without me constantly disturbed by the insistent clipping feeling.
