Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening salvo of aggressive, percussive synth stabs that re-establish the band's dominance.
The rhythmic shift in 'Slyde' where the bassline becomes almost liquid against the rigid drum machine.
The surreal lyrical detour of 'The Man' where Larry Blackmon's nasal delivery fixates on a train to Monaco.
