Moments Worth Listening For
The hypnotic, twelve-minute descent into paranoia on track 4 where the groove refuses to break.
The soaring, bittersweet falsetto of Eddie Kendricks on his final studio recordings with the group.
The sudden shift from lush orchestral soul to gritty, distorted funk on the album's longer centerpieces.
