Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a theatrical, multi-part suite during the ten-minute closing epic Larger Than Life.
The bright, staccato harpsichord-style synth melody that kicks off the opening track The Wolves Die Young.
The eerie spoken word dialogue and heavy atmosphere that anchors the mid-album track Blood.
