Whoracle (the song)

[Gums]

What do you guys think about this one? Even though it's simple, I really like it. It has an epic feel to it. I like the guitars, like the drums, and the vocals, even though there aren't any words. Looks like the vocals were done by Ulrika Netterdahl, who doesn't have any other credits to her name. Another random recruit.
I feel like this track helps, along with the album cover, the lyrical themes, etc to really paint a vivid, immersive picture around the album. The only thing I would change is Everything Counts. Not that it sounds terrible.. still has the signature guitars .. but it's weird to have a cover track in a concept. It takes me out of the Whoracle atmosphere. Only to be pulled back in by the title track.

Whoracle outro is awesome. I believe they used it as the live show opening for a little while (on a backing tape).

Everything Counts fits the theme of the album as a song, but yeah it should probably have been a bonus track rather than a part of the normal tracklist. Jesper said that he had some severe writer's block around the time they were creating Whoracle (and we know they spent most of the sessions drinking beer and playing Tekken), so maybe they went with a cover to avoid putting more effort into creating an additional song. Perhaps 9 normal songs + the outro was the best they could do.
