Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive choral entry and frantic soul sample on Sanctified that elevates the track to a religious experience.
The heavy, distorted industrial stomp of War Ready that provides a jarring contrast to the album's usual polish.
The smooth, druggy transition into the Weeknd's falsetto on In Vein, shifting the album into a hazy late-night haze.
