Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's opening synth line which immediately signals the band's departure from their heavy doom roots into electronic territory.
The soaring, melodic lead guitar hook in 'Say Just Words' that bridges the gap between metal aggression and pop sensibility.
The transition into the somber, piano-led atmosphere of 'This Cold Life' which highlights the album's digital isolation.
