As their name might sugggest, the Swedish House Mafia are a team synonymous with rigid family values and a break neck approach to anthemic floor fillers. Following up their landmark offering alongside Pendulum side-project Knife Party and the positive assortment of chart-worthy assets currently filling their musical trophy cabinet, the triumphant trio take proceedings with same momentum that has carried their legacy from the outset. Heralded by another of Sweden’s fine exports, Absolut Vodka, for an exclusive ad spot, we can rest assured that their ambitious sights for universal profiles are yet to subsist. Bringing things back to basis for the original instrumental, an array of grinding synths and symphonic chord play make for a perfectly orchestrated outing of club music that persuasively argues a case for the Swedish House Mafia’s ongoing onslaught of the clubs and charts alike.
In the same vein as the track brags further epic connotations for the dignified trio, their visual exploit alongside Absolut extends their trend of cutting-edge music videos. Ditching the controversial aspects of their previous videos, this vodka-endorsed offering see’s the three producers pitted against themselves in a somewhat augmented reality. While heralding the race that has seen them champion the realms of Electronic music, its captivating visuals and impressive CGI exploits make for an impressive addition to their legacy.

Big track indeed but I have to agree with J-Francois, the MSG version was much better.

I agree that the Madison Square Garden version was still better however.

MSG just has been so strange mixed, the breakdown and drops and whatever has been all mixed over unmastered sound. This passes. Good track.

Niklas Gustavsson says:
Great track but that cover reminds me of backstreet boys
Ivan Wiktorin Gahnfelt says:
This track i very good, but the would have worked more with the MSG version that would clearly been much better. This song is not bad by MSG version is much much cooler!
vik says:
The mix in the new version is 10000times better compared to the old version you heard at msg.. trust me!
Wish they kept the old break tho… Some months ago shm tweeted they were in the studio with hans zimmer, does it have anything to do with the fact they used the same melody in the old version, as in ”Time”?? Probably! Great track anyways!

Mike says:
wow a huge meh… lame
FREEEEE says:
huuuuuge, they always bring something new to the table in everytrack they make ffs.
This time they use reverb as a percussion thingy, wtf how did they think of that
??
in ltwb they were the first to used the whitenoiseriser, in save the world they used the reversed pianochords, in one they used the looped kick to a bassline..Always groundbreaking effects, What will happen in the next track ?
mangeBootleg says:
Can someone PLEASE tell where and how it sounds like Time?! They aren’t similar for shit! How can people even compare these two songs when they does sound nothing like eachother…give some sort of comparison or whatever, I CANT hear it and I think I’m not the only one……
mm says:
mange bootleg
if you listen to the time track and listen to the chord progression it was the same progression as in the msg version..It is just only that in the time-track the chords are going very slowly and in the msg version they are in another rhytm and way faster..Then they changed the chords slightly for the final version of greyhound because probably they realised the similarity to time
..so basically it was the same chords in the msg-version ,there u go!
mangeBootleg says:
Thank you for clearing that up, I guess I have to get Time and play it with a pitch so I can understand even better
bobsal says:
Time or not. It doesn’t really matter. Because at the end of the day, all it comes down to is how good the track is. And this is, hands down, huge! Don’t ruin this with a vocal and I will love this forever. It feels like they really have taken the critic they were given for Save The World and improved.
That being said, still hoping to see another track like Leave The World Behind =D
Vitor says:
In my opinion This is their worst ever . Weak a weird sounds. I didnt like this track at all. i think they didnt put so much effort on this track.i think the were talking in the studio like ” yeah, we are tired lets make some random noise and release cuz people gonna buy because we are the SHM….and those new fans arent critical at all”
snogsnog says:
I lol’d at your comment Vitor. Not because it’s funny, but because you clearly have no clue what you’re talking about. Are you honestly saying this is worse than Save The World? LOL. Yeah, this definitely sounds like some random noise…not.. And even if it is, it’s clearly way better than many of the other ”non-random” noises out there.
Vitor says:
@snogsnog Yeah it sounds better than many bad house tracks that is being produced this year. In 2012 . Mainly Electro/progressive house tracks that djs make has the same ,generic beat right know. My biggest disappointment was this track and the new tiesto track… Thats really amateur,its called chasing summers.But seriosly , i dont why some dudes are saying this is one of their best tracks ever or the even best,its not even close…, The hype about this track is because they are SHM. for many people they are untouchble…
Victor says:
Probably their best track so far
House guru says:
Fackin sell outs
MSG Rebooter says:
