Moments Worth Listening For

The guttural, operatic 'Rah-rah-ah-ah-ah' hook that opens the album with immediate authority.

The sudden shift to a raw, 1970s rock power ballad on Speechless, stripping away the synths for piano-driven grief.

The military-march percussion and chanting bridge of Teeth that closes the record on a primal, aggressive note.
