Album Notes & Community Reviews

Serving as the lead single for 'Death Magnetic', this structurally ambitious track frequently draws comparisons to the band's iconic 'One', slowly building from a melancholic ballad into a furious thrash metal climax. The song signaled a deliberate and successful return to their 1980s progressive metal roots.
