    Once the drums are removed , it really shows how INSANE their drummer is.
    The drummer wrote such a perfect part as not to overwhelm the song, rather blend right in.

    Who's on piano on this track?!? Or is it chopped and shopped by Tim? O.O
    Playing God is one of those foreboding, masterful, beautiful tunes you don't come across too often. This just added another layer of complexity and amazement onto it for me. I love this.
