Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring but hypnotic entrance of the didgeridoo on the opening track, grounding the high-gloss funk in something primal.
The extended, ten-minute instrumental exploration in Revolution 1993 where the band pivots from tight pop-funk into expansive jazz-rock.
The way the bassline in Too Young to Die carries the entire emotional weight of the song's anti-war message.
