** "Inanimate Sensation" is a completely ridiculous song on paper, what with its production that has been compared to "A chorus of screaming [[Series/FamilyGuy Peter Griffins]]" and the weird funhouse effects MC Ride puts on his voice throughout the song, but the band manages to make it a CrazyAwesome banger when it could have been an unlistenable mess.

to:
** "Artificial Death in the West" can be seriously depressing.is a slow, spacey, depressing song ruminating about the hopeless future of humanity. Ride sounds more despairing here than on just about any other song in the band's discography, even sounding close to tears when he sings "No matter where I turn, everyone's a runaway."
