Overview

The title of the song is taken from a line from a Chuck Palahniuk novel called Choke:

And because there's no possibility of real disaster, real risk, we're left with no chance for real salvation. Real elation. Real excitement. Joy. Discovery. Invention.

It is one of relatively few Biffy Clyro songs where the guitars are in standard tuning, as they usually use Drop D tuning.

Track 3 on the vinyl release is a new version of a song that originally appeared on Iname.
