Moments Worth Listening For
The seven-minute slow burn of 'Over' where the band trades their usual stadium roar for a patient, devastatingly quiet piano-led dissolution.
The arrival of the brass section on 'Many Will Learn' which adds a soulful, slightly mournful weight to the mid-tempo rhythm.
The way 'Satellites' closes the album with a hypnotic, nautical atmosphere, using imagery of sharks and blackwater to anchor its final emotional release.

It runs markedly cooler and more held-back than this artist's baseline.
