Although it sounds like a bass guitar (an instrument that the Group had never before used, oddly enough), the sound was actually formed by Jack White's semi-acoustic guitar (a 1950s Kay Hollowbody-model) with a Digitech Whammy pedal which reduced the sound with an octave. The riff was composed during a soundcheck for a show at the Corner Hotel inMelbourne, Australia, according to the notes in a booklet that came with the dvd Under Blackpool Lights heard. This riff was inspired by the main theme of Anton Bruckner's Symphony No. 5.

As the rhythm of the song speeds up, also speeds up the rate at which one of the triangles through the tunnel comes along. When the rhythm slows down again, also slows the triangel in the tunnel. During the video flicker surrounding triangles and other effects are built up as the song is louder. ===Tracklist<span class="mw-editsection" len="333" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p lang="en" len="48" style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">The 7 "single only contains the first two numbers. ===Criticisms<span class="mw-editsection" len="333" style="-webkit-user-select:none;font-size:small;margin-left:1em;line-height:1em;display:inline-block;white-space:nowrap;unicode-bidi:-webkit-isolate;"><span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">[ Edit<span class="mw-editsection-bracket" len="1" style="color:rgb(85,85,85);">] === <p style="margin-top:0.5em;line-height:22.3999996185303px;color:rgb(37,37,37);font-family:sans-serif;font-size:14px;">7 Nation Army stood in sixth place in a music magazine Rolling Stone list drawn up in 2009 of the fifty best songs of the Decade.
