This band is the musical equivalent of typing in CAPS. Everything is just so loud and comes off as really obnoxious. There are no dynamics whatsoever, everything in the mix is way too bright, too distorted, etc. I just don’t get the love. At all. Listening to Sleigh Bells literally causes me physical discomfort.

I’m generally not a fan of remixes (as the vast, vast majority are just terrible), but these are both surprisingly good.

My beef with Room On Fire has always been that awful mix; the buried vocals in particular. Example: 12:51. It’s a great tune, but the guitar-synth being way louder than the lead vocal makes me crazy, especially considering how low the vocal is. That record was a better mix away from being a great sophomore album.
