{{Red liner notes|{{#tag:span style="color:#990000"|''Scott:}} King was my favorite demo on [[Rivers]]' "[[Deliverance at Hand]]" demos. It wasn't getting voted into the pool so I called him and said, "This song is the shit everybody is crazy!" He said, "Oh yeah you sing it then," I said "Oh yeah, OK I will!" This was one of if not the most difficult songs to get recorded. I think we played it for three weeks as a band. It made everyone crazy. I love how it turned out.''}}
