Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, earth-shaking bass drop on Rock the Dancehall that immediately establishes the album's sonic weight.
The interplay of the vintage organ and the crisp snare crack on Play Fool (to Catch Wise).
The way the dub echoes trail off into a cavernous space during the bridge of Zion Train.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
