Moments Worth Listening For
The transition ten minutes into the opening track where the crushing riffs give way to a delicate, weeping keyboard melody.
The final, desperate vocal crescendo in 'The Death of Love' that feels like a physical breaking point.
The sudden, stark intimacy of the piano-led instrumental closer 'September' after nearly forty minutes of heavy distortion.
