Moments Worth Listening For
The transition into 'Time' where the clocks are replaced by a chaotic, percussive industrial meltdown.
Peaches delivering a feral, distorted vocal performance on 'The Great Gig in the Sky' that turns grief into a primal scream.
The jagged, funk-metal bass groove on 'Money' that feels like it's physically tearing through the speakers.
