Moments Worth Listening For
The cinematic swell of bagpipes and thunderous drums that opens Hang ’em High, setting an immediate high-stakes tone.
Bruce Springsteen’s gravelly guest verse on Peg o’ My Heart, bridging the gap between Jersey heartland rock and Boston punk.
The shift from somber acoustic strumming to a full-throttle punk explosion halfway through the title track.
