@MaW, I always think of Fraud as being in 6, rather than in 3. The time modulation that happens in each verse involes two 5-beat bars in a row (listen to the ostinato guitar riff). My guess is that it was originally written without that little quirk, but it makes it such a more interesting song rhythmically, that it’s pure genius. Without that time shift in the verses, the song could become monotonous. Great songcraft, like the rest of the album.
