Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden shift from the aggressive, distorted stomp of the opening tracks to the heartbreakingly fragile acoustic intimacy of track two.

The way the percussion on 'Tremendous Dynamite' feels like it's barely holding the song together against a wall of fuzzy guitar noise.

The vulnerability in the vocal delivery on 'The Longing' where the werewolf persona drops away to reveal a bare, human ache.
