Moments Worth Listening For
The frantic, palm-muted opening riff of Cold Cash and Colder Hearts that sets the album's breathless pace.
The soaring, melodic shift in the chorus of Stare at the Sun that balances the record's aggression.
The heavy, metallic breakdown in Paper Tigers that showcases the band's technical precision and raw power.
