Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the title track where the jazz-fusion complexity reaches a fever pitch of polyrhythmic percussion.
Philip Bailey's soaring, gravity-defying high note that anchors the climax of Take It to the Sky.
The sudden, razor-sharp precision of the Phenix Horns cutting through the lush synth bed on Pride.

How does Faces sound next to the rest of Earth, Wind & Fire's catalogue?

Maximalist+1.3σ

The production is pushed notably harder into maximalist than this artist usually allows.
