Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into the nine-minute centerpiece Blow the House Down where the synths swell into a wall of sound.
The delicate, almost fragile opening of Wind Distorted Pioneers that sets the album's misty tone.
The intricate vocal layering during the climax of Blue Silver Red that hints at the band's future choral complexity.
