Moments Worth Listening For
The immediate, crushing weight of the opening riff on Wake Up Early that signals the return of the band's heavy era.
The way the bass line on Sound on Sound anchors the swirling guitar feedback without losing its melodic core.
The sudden, sharp ending of No Revolution that leaves the listener in a ringing silence.
