"Innervision" was the first promotional single System of a Down sent out from Steal This Album! in 2002, and it hits like the rest of their catalog: Daron Malakian's riffs lurching and swerving, Serj Tankian's voice leaping from bark to croon without warning. Malakian wrote the music and co-produced with Rick Rubin; Tankian wrote the words; Andy Wallace mixed.

The song escaped before the album did. It was not part of the Toxicity II bootleg that did the rounds, and nobody knows who let it out. The leaked take differs from the finished one, with changed words and arrangement in the second verse and bridge, where the album version stacks up layered vocals.
