I thought it was a great statement of intent. "This isn't some brain dead album that's just about metal, metal, and more metal, this is about music." Also, I remember reading an interview with Tom Warrior, where he said the song was recorded as a reaction against the kinds of fans who were showing up at their shows. I don't remember him elaborating on just what kind of fans he was talking about, but the implication seemed to be that he was talking about the kinds of mindless thrash fans who all dressed alike and didn't like any music that wasn't thrash.
