21st Century Time Bomb- The idea for this song was actually taken from a magazine review that said my band was a "21st Century Time Bomb". We just used that statement as a template for the song itself. Choosing the tempo was easy; a ticking time bomb runs (obviously) at sixty beats per minute. We doubled that (120 BPM), and got a great marching/dance tempo that made it easy to mix marching samples and ticking clocks together under a lot of the back beat. The intro sounds a lot like war banter just from the percussion and the chord choices.

Since we wanted to capture the impending sound of World War III, the lyrics are sort of set as the voice of the people lit to pop in the face of oppression; the sound of the truest democratic vote- a revolution. It's the perfect opener for an album called "Manifesto".
