Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring but brilliant transition into a frantic bluegrass banjo breakdown during Cinderblox.
The cinematic, multi-part environmental epic of the Wildfire sequels closing the album with progressive intensity.
The soaring, radio-ready chorus of I Have a Right that pivots the band toward a more anthemic rock sound.
