Moments Worth Listening For
The opening drum roll of Skip Steps 1 & 3 that instantly locks into a buzzing, high-speed guitar assault.
The explosive, throat-tearing vocal delivery on the chorus of Seed Toss, where the melody barely holds together.
The way the guitars collapse into a squall of feedback at the end of Throwing Things, leaving only the ringing room tone.
