Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from the solemn liturgical opening of Vaterunser into the explosive, driving riff of Mensch.

The sudden, jarring shift into a dub-reggae rhythm on Ewig währt am längsten that briefly breaks the rock momentum.

The morbidly cheerful nursery-rhyme cadence of Zehn kleine Jägermeister turning a song about death into a massive party anthem.
