Through the dense polyrhythms of Born Under Punches (The Heat Goes On), does the band create an inviting or overwhelming opening experience?

I think it's purposefully overwhelming. The rhythm feels like it's coming from too many directions. The guitar is clicky. There are ominous sound effects taking the place of melody. The instrumental bridge sounds like a computer coming to life. Along with being an endlessly interesting song it's a bold statement of one of the album's primary themes - technological paranoia.

@Jangles I agree but also like, it might be the most fun song on the album for me

@william totally agree. One of my favorites for sure.
