Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive vocal entry on the title track where the melody turns into a rhythmic weapon.
The surprising shift to a delicate, high-register falsetto that pierces through the heavy bass on 'Somewhere Oh Oh'.
The relentless, rapid-fire lyrical delivery on 'To the Point' that feels like it's barely contained by the beat.
