Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive transition in the title track when the acoustic intro gives way to a heavy, distorted swamp-funk groove.

The slow, agonizing build of the organ on The Sun Is Shining Down, culminating in a raw, gospel-drenched vocal release.

The frantic, driving harmonica and slide guitar duel that propels the opening track, War, forward.
