Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless double-time drum intro of track 1 that defines the NWOBHM speed aesthetic.
The eerie, atmospheric clean guitar intro and newsreel-style tension of Dallas 1 PM.
The locked-in rhythmic chug of the title track where the bass and guitars become a single machine.
