This doesn't need more screams, wouldn't match the style. This is like a darker Deja.

Right. It's tasteful when he does use them sparingly here

I feel old when talking about "tasteful" screams.
I used to listen to screaming nonstop.

May have already been discussed but interesting nonetheless. This isn't the first time the band hid backwards messages in their music ('In a Jar', to name one other).
Sounds to me like "question mark, if so, you will be dead tonight"

I kinda hear "question us" and that makes more sense but still I'm not sure. Always get chills when stuff like this is discovered.

"Question us" is more sensible and also makes this infinitely creepier

It sounds more like "question mark" to me.

I think it's question mark, and it makes a lot sense. More than if we interpret it as question us, though the ambiguity def is there.

On a side note: I wanted to learn smth more about Mike Sapone and stumbled upon his instagram, what led me to a reflection of a sort. No pretentious tone intended, and well, hope it won't be ridiculed.
While I do understand the metaphor of science fiction as relating to the ascend, to the transcendental, but also to ones own from inner crevasses; and naturally the metaphor can be extended further, as there are many points somehow pertaining thereto (different nature from one's milieu, the antynomical perplexity of one's character, etc.), I'm still unsure as to why exactly was the science fiction pop-culture (and its imagery) evoked so heavily. Of course my assumption here is, that the imagery itself has some meaning, can be analyzed and interpreted on its own level, and not only on the already mentioned/suggested ones. There was that reference to the Devil's Tower (Close Encounters...), a ufo is on the cover, and I want to believe poster might have been accompanying the production of the album apparently*. Probably there are more movie/literature references here and there, I don't know. What do you think about it? is it only a facade used as a metaphorical point of reference, or in its own realm does it present some value?

it's at that little creepy choir interlude to the chorus, there's a hidden message "the chariots shall rage in the streets"

I covered it in my Daisy review, here's a snippet:
"While there are no open letters to God on this album (at least not in the way that ‘Jesus’ was) , there are still quite a few Biblical allusions, with many of them pointing to passages that detail the end of the world. On ‘In a Jar’, there’s a backwards verse in the pre-chorus that at first listen sounds like gibberish, but when played in reverse portrays the message “the chariots shall rage in the streets.” It’s almost certainly a reference to Nahum 2:4, which states that in the days of preparation, “ The chariots shall rage in the streets, they shall jostle one against another in the broad ways: they shall seem like torches, they shall run like the lightning.” While many have equated such a metaphor to traffic and vehicles of the modern day, even going as far as to analyze “broad ways” as a reference to the street in New York City, it’s difficult to pin down exactly why this line was hidden in the song."
