Hm...you really couldn't find ONE good song on either The Fragile, With Teeth, or Year Zero? I, for one, think that The Downward Spiral is overrated (yet still brilliant). The Fragile is probably their best album as a whole, and Year Zero is great when digesting it song by song.
But, yeah, The Slip is a very strong ten track album, although I could have done without the instrumentals. After all, Ghosts was nothing but instrumentals. This song is great, though. It's definitely the catchiest and most rock-oriented song on the album. What is it about? I don't know, the lyrics seem like typical Trent, but he's all about the delivery. Seems to be just about exactly what scarecrow826 stated. The protagonist will not cooperate. I don't know if the album is post-Year Zero in its lyrics as they don't seem to be centered around a specific central idea like Year Zero was, but it's a cool idea nonetheless.
That chorus is perhaps the catchiest thing the band has ever done.
