Moments Worth Listening For
The jagged, feedback-laced guitar riff that kicks off Chem 6A, signaling a shift from surf-pop to grit.
The vulnerable, stripped-back vocal delivery on Concrete Girl that foreshadows the band's future balladry.
The way the bassline drives the underwater feeling of track 3, creating a literal sense of submersion.
