"I'll Call U Back"
Some may tune in to this and think oh the monotony, and, ok sure, there isn’t much variation in tone here, but what Badu is demonstrating is restraint. She manages to craft a subtle, short, woozy highway banger—you'll catch that flow, start jutting your chin to the beat, and end up thinking hell yeah.

"(We Don't Need This) Fascist Groove Thang"
We certainly don't.

"Leash Called Love"
This song takes this band to work; without the instrumentation and vocals of the Sugarcubes, it just wouldn't be the same.
