Composition
Clocking in at three minutes and forty-three seconds, "Sickened, But Curious" is the fifth track off the LP. It is an aggressive uptempo piece which contains verse and bridge sections plus a coda, but no choruses. Skylar Vega throws in a bass solo during the ditty's introduction. Throughout the run-time, lead vocalist Ash Erickson utilizes guttural growls and black metal-styled shrieks even in places where the average Triple Seven listener would expect singing. The aforementioned bridge features session member Matt Rippetoe providing a taste of what he can do on saxophone, all the while complimenting Ray Drieberg's insane shredding and drummer Micah Trevant's fills. Rhythm guitar player Chance Bottings' backup vocals are audible on occasion, shouting words with a raspy tone. Generally speaking, "Sickened, But Curious" is a lot heavier in sound even when compared to certain tracks which didn't skimp out on the hardness factor (e.g. "A Lesson in Torture;" "Espada;" "Garden of Idiots").

The name of track #5 off Finding Enjoyment in Chaos is in reference to a quote spoken by the titular character in the Cartoon Network show Johnny Bravo.
