Moments Worth Listening For
The interlocking guitar weave in the opening of Chrome Injury that sets the album's nervous energy.
The sudden, driving bass shift halfway through Fighter Pilot... Korean War that mimics a mechanical ascent.
The way the vocal harmonies on Bel-Air provide a lush contrast to the sharp, percussive guitar strikes.
