Moments Worth Listening For
The massive, choral-backed crescendo of 'Miracle of Love' that feels like a spiritual awakening.
The transition from the bleak, acoustic vulnerability of 'Failure' into the driving, rhythmic pulse of 'Song for the Sun'.
The way the percussion on 'Better Than You' hits with a metallic, industrial weight against the melodic guitars.
