The lyrics came first for “(She’s Taking) Control”. I was hangin out in NY, and these 3 women started to talk their boyfriends and how they were not happy in their relationships. Their level of anger grew and grew… It was almost scary! I thought they would be capable of something really drastic… I decided to write a song about it, but it became more like this movie with Jodie Foster where she wants revenge and buys a gun and goes crazy. The music I thought had to be fast to convey that the female character is not taking the time to think carefully about her actions, and it is all about impulse… I could see this turned into a metal tune.
