Moments Worth Listening For

The brassy, defiant brass section and vocal grit on the chorus of Hate on Me.

The transition from spoken intimacy to soaring operatic high notes in the middle of Crown Royal.

The way the percussion mimics a racing heart during the tense, nocturnal atmosphere of Insomnia.
