Forget Taylor Swift, the new 'Game of Thrones' soundtrack is straight club bangers

I'm sorry, Taylor Swift. But in a very real sense, I'm not sorry (and neither are you). Like so many others, I was ready for Swift's single release, to see if it could be anywhere near the infectious skill of 1989 or at least upstage whatever the hell Katy Perry is doing.

But then I remembered that the Game of Thrones Season 7 soundtrack drops today.

This morning, I listened to "Look What You Made Me Do" just to remain slightly culturally relevant. But for the rest of today and the foreseeable future, I will be jamming to Game of Thrones.

A quick refresher, in case you forgot how sinfully bumpin' Game of Thrones has been in the past. (I will never skip the title sequence, fight me.)

Last season, composer Ramin Djawadi blew the doors off his previous work with "The Light of the Seven," which remains one of the show's top played pieces:

Season 7's soundtrack picks up right away with that same vibe. Like the show itself, the soundtrack has little time for nuance anymore, for quiet scores that subtly accentuate scene work between actors. This is the season of dragons burning people alive in battle and a constant threat of infinite death. Winter is here, motherfucker.

Check out "The Queen's Justice," a raging remix of the regular Lannister theme music ("The Rains of Castamere"). It sets my teeth on edge and also makes me want to go straight to da CLUBBB:

Feel like reliving episode 6's miraculous dragonback rescue north of the wall? GO RIGHT AHEAD. Daenerys' entry is nothing short of a superhero movie, long may she reign.

There's a little riff from "Against All Odds" that forms the entire basis of "See You For What You Are," A.K.A. The Ballad of Jon and Daenerys. I didn't want to ship it and suddenly it's everything to me.

Also, the finale music is in the album, so while you're busy digging through the dark web for another leaked episode (no thanks, I'm a purist), there are clues hiding IN PLAIN SIGHT. Either Cersei is refusing to fight the dead or someone is refusing to work with her -- either way, a "Light of the Seven" callback doesn't bode well.

I'll eat my hat if "Truth" isn't Jon finding out about his parentage and sharing at least a passionate kiss with Daenerys. Those soaring strings are a ship setting sail if I ever knew one (it's basically this scene from Lost, don't @ me).

From the sound of "The Army of the Dead," we haven't seen our last icy attack of the season. I can't breathe, I'm too stressed to work. This album killed me and "Winter is Here" turned me into a wight.

Look what you made me do, Game of Thrones.

Game of Thrones Season 7 concludes August 27 on HBO.
