Moments Worth Listening For
The glitchy, stuttering synth intro of the title track that mimics a computer system booting up.
The explosive transition from the palm-muted verses to the soaring, multi-tracked falsetto hook in 'life of the party'.
The way 'slowdown' uses a driving bassline to ironically push the tempo against its lyrical theme of deceleration.
