Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, high-pitched siren loop on 'Lost at Birth' that creates an immediate sense of emergency.
The heavy, swinging industrial funk beat of 'Can't Truss It' that anchors a harrowing history of the slave trade.
The explosive crossover energy of the Anthrax collaboration on 'Bring tha Noize' closing the album with a sonic riot.
