Moments Worth Listening For

The explosive transition in track 1 from a lullaby-like intro into a distorted, screaming blues-rock breakdown.

The iconic, rubbery bassline of track 6 that feels like it's being played through a thick layer of velvet.

The pitch-shifted, almost cartoonish vocal delivery on track 7 that breaks the album's heavy tension with a sunny, warped breeze.
