Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive, percussive slap-bass intro of 'New Religion' that anchors the track's complex rhythmic shifts.
The transition from the high-energy pop of the first half into the eerie, industrial-tinged synth pads of 'The Chauffeur'.
The way the bird calls and jungle sound effects in 'Hungry Like the Wolf' blend into that iconic, driving guitar riff.
