A brazenly odd song that is notable for its use of eclectic vocals and instrumental breaks. Guitar is largely built around a main riff that alternates chord patterns every other measure, while the solos are very frenetic and require rapid dexterity to keep up with. The drums are a furious medley of snare and tom solos, relentless kick patterns, and ever-changing ride cymbal patterns in its most "simple" sections. Bass, while the easiest instrument, is not without its challenges, as the fast tempo and noodling requires steady attention. Keys are rather sparse at the start, until the first guitar solo, after which, the instrument has a few of its own quirky and unforgiving solos.
