Recording
"2 + 2 = 5" is a rock song that builds to a loud climax.[1] It was recorded in 2002 at Ocean Way Recording studios in Hollywood, Los Angeles, with the producer Nigel Godrich.[2] It was recorded as a studio test and finished in two hours.[3]
Title
The title is a reference to the slogan "two plus two equals five" from the 1949 dystopian novel Nineteen Eighty-Four by George Orwell.[4] The song's alternative title, "The Lukewarm", references Dante's Inferno, in which the "lukewarm" are those in hell who did nothing wrong but did not oppose wrongdoing.[5]
