Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring cut-and-paste Bush speech that opens the title track, turning presidential rhetoric into a confession of villainy.

The relentless, double-kick drum assault on 'Lieslieslies' that mimics the frantic energy of a documentarian's paranoia.

The haunting, Middle Eastern-influenced atmosphere of 'Khyber Pass' that provides a cinematic, ominous finale to the chaos.
