Well, yeah, it's deliberate. It's definitely a conscious part of the structure. The composer probably spent months blueprinting the meter & the interlocking ambiguity of the vocals against the beat, & the beat against the instrument arrangement.

He seems to have taught it quickly to the backup crew. Maybe some of it is prerecorded when they play it live. It's probably a case of: Once you have the "key," it's a more natural flow. The funky thing is that, when I'm just listening to it without that "key," it's unparsable. At least for me.
