NIN - The Day The World Went Away

It has this grumbly pad intro for about 30 seconds and then just breaks into this huge fuzzy, driving guitar completely out of the blue, until the lyrics start, then there is another big huge outro.

I think what makes it more impactful is that it is in 4/4 and right before the second break the tempo slows and the guitar comes in on the 3 count which adds an unexpected element to it.
