Its unsettling to the point of eerie, as the chanted vocals give it a sense of witchcraft, while the banshee like holler of the guitar that sweeps over the top reinforces it. Somehow though, it plays with your emotions, pulling you in, its lyrical content, the boredom and monotony of modern life, ringing somehow true.
