@EnsignMilkshake: I'm sorry that you're tone-deaf, but there are strong octaves and fifths going on throughout that entire song.

There are two synth lines at the beginning of "We Carry On", the first of which is playing the root note of the song on a fluttering pitch up an octave while the second is playing the root down and a fifth, then shifting up a half step and back down in a rhythmic pattern.
At 1:45, the guitar is playing a flat 7th, then a 5th, then a 7th, then back to a 5th, all of which are pretty standard notes when looking at building chords.
I don't really care that you don't like it but don't make up things to make yourself look smarter.

Do the people who are calling this album "atonal" actually know what the word means?

Even "Machine Gun" isn't atonal and most of the song is an extended rhythm track!

@chim_richalds: Yeah, I did notice the bit about controversy over the term.

The people calling this album "atonal" should learn what the word means before throwing it around.
