Moments Worth Listening For
The instant recognition of the Super Freak bassline that anchors the lead single's unstoppable momentum.
The shift from high-energy rapping to the earnest, gospel-inflected plea for social change on Help the Children.
The booming, repetitive 'Hammer' chants that transform the opening track into a literal stadium anthem.
