Any well-versed music fan knows that when a song is good, its positive points hit you in the face on the very first listen.

This is will definitely happen when you listen to Deadly Lethal Ninja Assassin. The second single from Reuben’s acclaimed album In Nothing We Trust is a stormer from the word go.

You can just tell from the introductory drum beat that the song’s gonna be great, and the crunching riffs and tremendous vocals will soon have you playing air guitar along with the record.

It’s safe to say that I have no idea what the hell the song is about, but the shout-a-long chorus of “I wanna be just like you/get myself a job and a really cool tattoo” is deeply addictive, fun stuff.

This song, like any self-respecting rock tune these days, also has a good old-fashioned bass and drums breakdown in the middle eight that proves to be very simple but so excellently effective.
