 "In a Dark Place", released as a single and video in July 2006, was one of a number of tracks which continued the (literal) questioning of God common to Numan's three previous albums, "Sacrifice" (1994), "Exile" (1997) and "Pure".Another track debunking religious beliefs was "Melt", with the lines "I know that Heaven is a burnt out shell / I know forgiveness is the door to Hell / I know confession is a black empty lie".A number of reviewers noted ephemeral links between "Jagged" and Numan's classic work from the late 1970s and early 1980s, though the composer himself claimed not to see such connections.
