Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, explosive transition into the blistering industrial-punk chorus of Easier Than Lying.
The frantic, breakbeat-driven climax of Girl Is a Gun that feels like a panic attack in a club.
The stark contrast of Lindsey Buckingham's delicate acoustic guitar work on the gentle lullaby Darling.
