Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring transition from the violent threats of Talk to Me into the trunk-rattling bounce of the Like a Pimp remix.

The raw, unpolished vocal delivery on the title interlude that sounds like it was recorded in a moment of genuine crisis.

The way the heavy percussion drops out on The End to leave Banner's vulnerable spoken word message as the final statement.
