Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring Charles Mingus saxophone sample that tears through the industrial grit of 10/10.

The unsettling transition from the frantic pace of Supermanic Soul into the sludgy, mid-tempo crawl of the rest of the album.

The vulnerable, almost pathetic spoken apology regarding the Betty Ford Clinic in the track Step.
