Moments Worth Listening For

The way the guitar lines on 'Yhwh on Acid' spiral into a dizzying, psychedelic jazz-punk meltdown over six minutes.

The jarring contrast of the Doors' 'Peace Frog' being stripped of its groove and reassembled as a jagged, nervous wreck.

The sudden, sharp transition from the spoken-word tension of 'Our Discovery' into the frantic energy of 'A Good Night's Bleeding'.
