Moments Worth Listening For
The seven-minute slow-burn build of the title track where the bass line anchors a heavy, rhythmic stomp.
The frantic, high-speed guitar harmony bridge in Where the Rain Grows that recalls the band's classic speed metal roots.
The bizarre lyrical shift in Star Invasion where a pilot panics during an alien encounter.
