Moments Worth Listening For

The deep, resonant vocal bass line on 'You Are What You Is' that perfectly mimics a driving electric groove.

The transition from the chaotic 'Lumpy Gravy' into the surprisingly tender soul of 'Any Way the Wind Blows'.

The way the group handles the rapid-fire, satirical lyrics of 'The Meek Shall Inherit Nothing' with effortless gospel precision.
