Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the frantic punk energy of Warsaw into the heavy rocksteady groove of Hooligans.
Buju Banton's gravelly toast cutting through the thick bassline on the title track.
The sprawling, cinematic organ and narrative storytelling that anchors the four-minute epic Hoover Street.
