I was wondering how long it would take for someone to bring up J'nuh. For
those of you who don't know or aren't musicians, the "j'nuh" part in J'nuh
alternates from 7/8 to 8/8 (which could conceivably be written in
something as monstrous as 15/8, but that's not the convention). The real
genius is in the fact that one might never notice (if one were only
listening casually). The song has been written to flow very well in that
part, even given its notably unorthodox time signature. For those of you
who hadn't picked up on it before, listen to Will's snare and count it
out.
