Brandon: This, in my heart, was our first real piece of music. It was with this that Impact set down its philosophy of creating listeners who are active in the listening project. Notice how we intentionally play wrong notes, get off-rhythm, and play out of key. We do this because it forces the listener to sit down and wonder what could have been had the music been played correctly. Is there any other modern band that demands so much from its listeners? I think not, and this is further proof that Impact is at the forefront of today’s new music scene.
Brad: I have a distinct memory of this being the first time I knew that when we actually sat down and got our shit together, we could do something. You can tell by listening to this that Brandon is the glue holding these songs together.
Brian: I completely disagree with Brad... Brandon is what tears us apart whenever we have something coherent going on. We'll get into an awesome groove and then he'll change the rhythm completely and introduce orchestra hits. I HATE orchestra hits. Nevertheless, this track has its moments of brilliance that come out of nowhere.
