I enjoyed it, and that bass synth patch is just insane, but for some reason it reminded me of this:

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=QBStbd2B8Jk

(That's a video, but the soundtrack alone gives the flavor pretty well, and obtainable/listenable via commandline using youtube-dl.)

I didn't understand dubstep until I saw that video actually. Then I got it: "oh, it's dance-club metal! Metal you can dance to, using electronic instruments instead of guitars." I was perplexed by industrial music in the 90s until I had this exact same revelation.

Or, as Butthead put it: "The only thing better than a band that gets chicks, is a band that SCARES chicks. Huh-huh." Industrial and dubstep: dance music with testosterone.
