Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from the optimistic space-age synth intro of Tomorrow's World to the grounded, gritty reality of the verse.
The explosive, cathartic release of the title track's chorus where the arrangement swells into a massive wall of sound.
The way the percussion mimics a ticking clock and rising tension during the frantic delivery of Rant and Rave.
