This is the same engineer that also did the AlterBridge song and the Chevelle song that I had posted before. The intro for the song has the guitar with a flanger that is going back and forth (left right), it then jumps to a somewhat heavy guitar part until it drops back to soft for the verse. The choruses are vocal driven even with the guitar getting heavier. For verse 2 the bass takes the lead as opposed to most songs were guitar leads everyone else. Other then that the structure is pretty simple.
