Moments Worth Listening For
The relentless, drill-like repetition of the main riff in Thieves punctuated by the 'Get up!' vocal samples.
The unsettling, tribal-industrial groove of Cannibal Song that shifts the album's pace into something more slithering and hypnotic.
The eight-minute descent of So What where the repetitive bassline anchors a collage of increasingly unhinged vocal delivery.
