Background
"Ominous" is an instrumental demo recorded during the Meteora sessions and released on the LP Underground 12 CD. On the booklet, Brad Delson wrote: "With Meteora, we were eager to prove that our first album wasn't an aberration. The joke is that a band has their entire lives to write their first album, and six months to write their second. In our case, this was probably accurate. Our early song-writing approach was always to craft nearly finished instrumental tracks, and subsequently finalize words and melodies. This put an exceptional amount of pressure on the vocalists, often in the final hour of the recording process."
