505 is about as close to Riot Van as I am to you. Riot Van is a slow song that never really picks up and brings down the album a bit. 505 is almost a ballad like song that is constructed completely different than anything from the debut and hits a climax that you really don't see from any other of their songs except for Do Me a Favour.

I know, I said the Josh Homme influence was definitely there. I still hear FWN in it though.
