Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the aggressive title track into the hazy, druggy sprawl of track two.
The bizarrely earnest yet ironic delivery of the spoken word sections in Satan Was Way Cool.
The skeletal, early demo version of Loser that reveals the song's folk-blues origins before the big production.
