"declare independence" is a bit too blatantly "pluto" redux but it's also the only song here that had a lasting impact beyond the album campaign

"Declare Independence" took on hilarious new levels of terrible when the stock market crashed and the people Iceland voted to keep the Range Rovers and home saunas that their crooked banks had bought for them, I mean, I get that that song is probably meant to be personal and social independence instead of "Iceland" but I can't help it, that country is the national embodiment of gifted child syndrome
I've uncharacteristically doctored the track list of Volta as well but it involved cutting all the "poppy" tracks ("Independence", "Intruders", "Innocence") and subbing in some choice moments from Drawing Restraint
