Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the delicate piano intro to the heavy, syncopated riff in Takeover.
The intricate, jazz-influenced drum fills that dance around the vocal melody in Serac.
The hauntingly sparse acoustic arrangement of Pale Flag that feels like a funeral dirge.
The explosive, high-energy climax of Passer that serves as a cathartic release for the album's tension.
