Moments Worth Listening For
The stuttering, pitch-shifted vocal samples that open the album, signaling a shift toward digital experimentation.
The transition from the instrumental 'Tiger Tiger' into the haunting, atmospheric synth pads of 'The Seventh Stranger'.
The aggressive, almost jagged guitar riff that cuts through the synth wash on 'Of Crime and Passion'.
