Rebellious+1.4σ

Rebellious saturates this record notably more than the artist's norm.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening riff of 'Empire Builder' that sets a high-octane pace for the record.
The transition into 'Farout' where the noise rock dissonance meets a surprisingly catchy vocal hook.
The heavy, driving bassline of 'Ticket to LA' that anchors the album's road-trip energy.
