Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, driving shift in tempo on 'Never Mistake a Suit for a Friend' that anchors the song's cynical, anti-industry bite.
The raw, unpolished vocal strain in the bridge of 'Dear In the Headlights' where the band's DIY recording setup highlights the genuine emotion.
The slow, atmospheric build of the five-minute closer 'Halo, I'm Not Coming Home' which serves as a fittingly heavy final curtain.
