Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the aggressive funk of the opener into the soaring, celestial vocal harmonies of the mid-album ballads.
The way the bassline on track one drives the rhythm with a relentless, percussive grit that feels physically heavy.
The six-minute slow burn of the final track, where the strings gradually swell to a cinematic, heart-wrenching peak.
