-The bass and drums at the start. A real sausage of a beat.

-leading up to the first verse there's this really cool guitar stutter underneath the main punk line that I just picked up on now (headphones listen) - you can examples at 11 and 13

-I like the group shouting going into the chorus. They don't really have anything else like that I can think of offhand.

-I like the vocal melody Eddie has during the Tunnel/funnel sections

- I really like the 'cuz we left the fucking water running' moment

- and the guitar transition out of it, which is like what I was flagging earlier but more forward in the mix. It's actually more prevalent going into verse 2

-there's a cool grove to the rhythm guitar coming out of the first chorus as well.

-Really the inspirational grind of the bridge - the music especially. The 'reprieve not looking likely' is a good transition into the solo.

It's not Mike's best solo, but a Mike solo is almost always welcome news and it's got a playful swing to it, and there is a fun little taunting section at the end of it

Great Good vs Evil energy at the end. Don't know what the hell Ed is saying.

Good abrupt stop. I like how both this and dark matter don't so much end as they halt.

“Group shouting” are called “gang vocals” in the studio world, and they did it on SBWM — “I ask forgiveNESS,” etc

Stupid, baffling choice for a single. But still really fun. When I’m in the mood for this type of song, it will scratch that itch. Things I love about it:

1. Bass coming in hard in the left channel then the explosion in the right
2. The 2nd guitar accenting the first more loudly adds a really cool layer and gives the effect of the volume going up and down slightly. I enjoy the push and pull of that.
3. The relentless pace
4. The sudden halt of the bridge. That beautiful bridge. I want more of it.
5. The way Ed pronounces certain words. Some really good choices here.
6. The briefest pause after the bridge before kicking back into gear
7. Mikes ambulance siren like solo accentuates the back and forth and up and down volume effects in 2. All of it heightens the theme of the song of running frantically and going nowhere. Maybe running in circles.
8. The “fuck off” at the end

Got me running
Got me running
but the race it never ends

You got me running
or else I'm done in

you got me coming as you're going
and the chase it never ends
I'll be running
'Til the second coming

contain us
contain us

lost in the tunnel
and the tunnel aint no fun now
I hope you know the shit your pushing

Continue
Continue (or potato. go with what your heart tells you)

Lost in the tunnel
And the tunnel ain't no fun
Now I'm lost in all the shit you're flushing

like the sewage in the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running

Control
Control

Lost in the tunnel
And the tunnel's getting funneled
Like the sewage in the plumbing
Cuz we left the fucking water running

Got me diving, got me diving
Got me deep
I get the bends
When I'm ??? (swimming)?
You're too late coming

Got me running
Got me running
But your race it never ends

I'm feeling done in
it's slightly stunning

Continue
Continue

Lost in the tunnel
And the tunnel ain't no fun
Now I'm lost in all the shit you're flushing
like the sewage in the plumbing
cuz we left the fucking water running


Not sure about the outro

9. Jeff’s sliding bass in the bridge, right after the guitars pause. It touches my soul in the right place (my butt).
10. Mike hits a note in the solo at 2:03 precisely that is identical to the final highest note in the RVM solo. Theory: Watt told Mike “remember how you extended the string way up at the end of the RVM solo? Do that here”. That double time on the drums at the end also feels like RVM.
