I think the alternating between triplets and normal time notes is important in the making of an insanely heavy breakdown. Take Crooked by Dealer, for example, the breakdown towards the end of the song alternates and it makes it so much heavier. As well as tasteful Bleghs and literal Dog Bark noises.
