Moments Worth Listening For
The melodic, driving guitar lead that opens Another State of Mind, signaling a shift toward the band's future anthemic sound.
The frantic, galloping drum fill that kicks off The Creeps, setting a high-velocity pace for the record.
The extended, brooding instrumental build-up in Moral Threat that showcases a darker, more experimental side of early OC punk.
