To be clear, I wanted it to do the thing and it did.

I'm starting to think claude is too agreeable.
Me: Lets do this unhinged thing. Deleting a bunch of random stuff, with no explanation.

And 'We Are The Pigs' is the pivotal track of the album. It's absurdly energizing and fresh, uncompromising, rebellious, raw, fanatic, punk, contrarian and in a weird way engaging. Above all, it's the perfect symbiose of Andersons vocals and Butlers guitars; as two colored lines in a 3D animation constantly crossing, intertwining, complementing, competing and eventually perfecting each other. As if these two energies cannot live with or without each other. It's an era defining masterpiece perfectly encapsulating the zeitgeist of this 90s feeling of disconnect in a rapid changing world 10/10 ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
