Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition into the title track's abrasive, distorted synth lead that sounds like a siren
Eminem's rapid-fire delivery on 'Lose Your Life' cutting through a hauntingly simple piano loop
The lush, soulful vocal chops on 'Smile' providing a rare moment of melodic relief amidst the grit
