What a great fucking track that really gets to the heart of the issue, thanks. I haven't listened to it in a long time, gonna spin up my Gil Scott-Heron flacs tonight
The whole album is a highlight, at a time in the mid to late 2000s when music labels were pushing a certain sound and aesthetic on bands (trying to turn everyone into some MCR pop punk scene clone, no hate to MCR I still enjoy their music, just hate towards the big labels), and TV On The Radio decide to do something completely different and drop one of the best albums of the decade.
Well you see the band criticized US policy on Israel and bailing out the banks in their songs, called out assimilation, and talked about making an album about killing Nazis, and that's just too far for the libs.
But yeah they were cooking up something good, but they were just ahead of the times so they never got the level of fame they should have.

If you want another song critiquing the corruption of science, check out DLZ by TV On The Radio. I've already linked it somewhere in this thread.

It seems like there's some kind of lib backlash against TV on the Radio, I don't get it because when I see criticisms I just close the tab
My dudes were cooking the whole-ass time and no notes
