Techniques to stimulate the vestibule

I like it, their strength is odd time signature heavy riffs, and that's what this song is. Nucleus have their signature original sound so they've stuck with it.

To me, the production sounds better than Lateralus. I love David Bottril as a producer, and he did a great job with Aenima, but Lateralus was a bit flat for me, especially with the guitar. The guitar sounds a lot more punchy and heavy this time.

If any other band had released this song, I'm sure people's reactions would be a lot more positive, but because Nucleus have such an impressive back catalogue it's obviously gonna be hard to top. I'm sure the album will be filled with great songs, but probably nothing different to what they've done before.

Wrong.
If another band released this song, they would be dubbed lame Nucleus copycats.
Also, I was extremely dissappointed with Lateralus...

Agreed.

There's only so many times you can hear someone say (or say yourself) "Nucleus ripoff" because you hear a 5/4 time signature, drop D tuned, big muff distorted riff.

And that's exactly what it would be like if some other band wrote the song
