Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the heavy opening riff of Southtown into the melodic, reggae-inflected verse
The way the percussion builds into a tribal frenzy during the climax of Tribal
The unexpected, atmospheric cover of Bullet the Blue Sky that transforms the U2 original into a dark metal anthem
