Moments Worth Listening For
The deep, growling bass vocal that anchors the chorus of Little Egypt with theatrical flair.
A sharp, honking saxophone solo on Run Red Run that cuts through the mix like a punchline.
The frantic, overlapping call-and-response vocals during the final minute of Wake Me Shake Me.
