“Transylvania,” Tyler, The Creator
The most offensive and disturbing song on “Goblin,” an album full of them, Tyler imagines himself as Dracula, biting the necks of women the world over. The pitch-modulated vocals, which bring Tyler’s vicious lyrics deep into the bass register, complement the catchy and foreboding horror movie-inspired synth beat. Scarier than any production are Tyler’s violently sexual sentiments, which have caused extensive controversy and make for truly chilling listening.
