Moments Worth Listening For
The somber, respectful tone of the opening tribute to Proof setting a heavy emotional stakes for the record.
The relentless, high-energy delivery on the Tell Me When to Go remix that bridges LA and Bay Area sounds.
The nearly six-minute existential weight of Will I Die with its hauntingly repetitive minor-key piano loop.
