"Hyperpower!" is the first track on the 2007 release Year Zero. It is a short instrumental that kicks off the album, a la "Pinion."
A hyperpower is a nation that dominates the global stage through economy, military power, and technological prowess. The term has been used to describe the United States in the 1990s and retrospectively the British Empire in the 19th century.
