Moments Worth Listening For
The sharp transition from the melodic hook of Back to My Roots into the heavy, stripped-back dub version that closes the album.
The aggressive synth-bass attack on No Justice No Peace that mirrors the urgency of its civil rights messaging.
The intricate three-part vocal harmonies on Islands Unite that soften the track's heavy digital percussion.
