Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, percussive thumb-slap assault that opens Sandstorm, setting a high-velocity pace for the entire record.
The transition into the lush, harmonized chorus of Autumn (Paradise Is Free), where the grit of the rhythm section meets pure pop bliss.
The extended instrumental interplay on Mr. Pink, showcasing a band more interested in fusion chops than radio play.
