Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the hypnotic, bubbling synthesizer loop into the crashing power chords of the opening track.
The primal, throat-shredding scream that punctuates the climax of the eight-minute closing anthem.
The sudden shift from a delicate acoustic ballad to a heavy, brooding rock explosion halfway through track eight.
