U Call It Productions, 1995.] The thirteenth song is not listed on the album; on this track, a somber man recites what are apparently self-help instructions and a humorous mantra—"the louder the apartment is, the happier I will be."The song "Destructible Times" was used the same year in the video game
Command & Conquer , specifically in the credits for theBrotherhood of Nod . Developers atWestwood Studios specifically requested the song because it "reflected the war aspect and bad-ass vibe of Nod's side."cite web | title=COMMENTARY: Behind the C&C Soundtrack | author=Frank Klepacki | url=http://www.frankklepacki.com | work= [http://www.frankklepacki.com frankklepacki.com] | accessdate=25 August | accessyear=2006] The band was once recorded live while performing this song. It was the first commercial album Klepacki's playing appeared on; he wrote several songs for the band.
