Moments Worth Listening For
The opening of One of Us where the actual ambient PA announcement of a Manhattan-bound subway train bleeds directly into a driving, distorted guitar riff.
The sudden, bouncy shift on Band Breaker where the band drops into a sharp, Clash-inspired reggae-ska bassline that completely re-energizes the record's midsection.
The interlocking, glassy guitar interplay on Miss Teen Massachusetts that manages to sound both razor-sharp and sparklingly clean under John Hill's production.
