Moments Worth Waiting For
The way the mournful cello on Mommy Dearest (A Eulogy) creates a suffocating sense of grief beneath the clinical delivery.
The explosive yet controlled jazz crescendo that closes out the eight-minute epic Got Flicked (The Rebirth).
The jarring contrast between the spiritual choral backing and the gritty street reality on Birth of Bold (The Christening).
