Moments Worth Listening For
The slow-motion transition at the twelve-minute mark of Defeat where the rhythm dissolves into a shimmering organ drone.
The way the drums finally snap into a driving groove halfway through Magicians From Baltimore.
The hauntingly beautiful vocal harmonies that close out King's Walk in a purely acoustic space.
