Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition from the soul-drenched intro into the aggressive lyrical onslaught of the title track.
The way the scratching on Lights Down acts as a third vocalist, punctuating Termanology's flow with rhythmic precision.
The unexpected melodic lift provided by Shawn Stockman's vocals on Shining, contrasting the record's harder edges.
