Three Days

The longest track on Ritual de lo Habitual runs to 10:48. Warner Bros. released it as a single on 2 August 1990, together with Stop!. It sits at the start of the album's second half, where it and Then She Did... lean toward progressive rock, and the papier mache cover sculpture by Niccoli and Farrell was related to it. Farrell is credited with guitar on it. The band was already playing it at the Roxy Theatre on 26 January 1987, the night recorded for their live debut.

Peter Kane of Q called it the epic Three Days, in which Navarro piles the layers shoulder high. In 2024 the Guardian's Stevie Chick wrote that it again sounded like the greatest rock epic of the alternative era, with tribal drums chasing one ecstatic crescendo after another while Navarro fired off solos.
