Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the ambient drift of Collapse into the driving, melodic hook of Drown With Me.
The title track's main riff where the guitars drop into a heavy, syncopated groove that feels almost mechanical.
The live-energy bass solo in Hatesong that anchors the track's slow-burning descent into chaos.
