Moments Worth Listening For

the nine minute slow motion collapse of Armageddon Man where the spoken word and instruments finally collide

the bone dry vocal delivery on the title track that feels like someone whispering a threat from two inches away

Greg Ginn's atonal guitar skittering over Kira Roessler's locked in bass lines during the instrumental second half
