Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless twelve-minute rhythmic build of Stop the War Now where the percussion becomes hypnotic.
The jagged, aggressive guitar riff that opens Superstar, signaling a sharp turn from Motown's usual polish.
The way the vocal arrangement on Ain't No Sunshine stretches the silence between the beats.
