[3] The preceding track on the album, "Lost Keys (Blame Hofmann)" serves as a conceptually synchronized prologue for the song.
It depicts a conversation between a patient (Albert Hofmann), a nurse and a doctor (R. Gordon Wasson), which occurs after the event in "Rosetta Stoned".
It was also praised for its arranging and performances,[3] especially due to Danny Carey's "multi-limbed" percussion skills and creative drumming.
