Moments Worth Listening For
the explosive transition from the acoustic-led verse to the massive, soaring chorus of Second Chance
the rhythmic, percussive vocal delivery in the opening of Devour that sets a high-tension political tone
the haunting, string-laden bridge of The Crow & the Butterfly that elevates the track into gothic territory
