	Boing Boing: Platinum record sonograms compared
		This site has turned the tracks off dozens of platinum albums into sonograms, then analyzed the sonogram similarities between different hits, trying to peg the mathematics of a hit.
		It's an interesting sidelight on how different sound densities are perceived- since Helter Skelter was made not to be 'loud and rocking', but to be pretty near unbearable, mind-melting overload.
