Though I never posted a full-on review here, my fellow bloggers are well aware of my less than enthused reaction to Zeitgeist. Suffice to say, a few good songs, difficult production, and a fair share of outright clunkers, and then “United States,” which I find just short of abysmal.

However, despite my dislike, I still try and occasionally give it one more chance, to see if I can find more redeeming qualities. 

Sunday was one of those days, and I have news to report:

I’ve finally found a good reason to listen to “United States.”

It’s the perfect rhythm for an 8-minute mile while running.

Seriously. You just lock into the groove and stride.  And as you pick up the pace for the finish, the song builds to a crescendo.

Now it all makes sense.  

Anyone have an instrumental?
