Moments Worth Listening For
The industrial, Rammstein-esque stomp of the main riff in 'tear gas' that shifts the band's traditional bounce into something more mechanical.
The haunting, atmospheric bridge of 'burn down my house' where the wall of sound thins out to reveal a vulnerable, melodic core.
The frantic, high-energy climax of 'be very afraid' which serves as a final nod to the band's more aggressive metalcore roots.
