Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden arrival of the Italian children's choir on track 4, adding a haunting innocence to the dark lyrical themes.
The seven-minute epic 'Life Is a Pigsty' where the music breaks into a rain-soaked, thunderous climax of orchestral despair.
The Middle Eastern-inflected guitar scales that open the album, signaling a more adventurous sonic palette than previous records.
