Description
When earlier describing the album on twitter Matt was possibly referring to 'The 2nd Law: Unsustainable' as 'ambient rebellious dubstep'. The piece starts with an orchestral section with choral emphasis, that gradually builds up to a climax. During a build up, a female voice reads the above text, at the end of which, a heavily effected, vocoder-style voice enters with the word 'unsustainable'. A dubstep-style section follows, utilising pick scrapes, Twisty Kaoss Pad, KAOSS Pad manipulations and other sounds typical of Bellamy's guitar style, backed with drums and bass and fragmented repetitions of the word 'unsustainable'.
In an NME article the last two songs on 'The 2nd Law' were described as "doom-drenched operas full of newsreel reports from the end of civilisation, rapping Terminators, trumpets inflating like lifeboats and Exorcist piano pulses tinkling goodbye to the globe".

An economy based on endless growth is...
With the missing word being "Unsustainable".
