Moments Worth Waiting For
The jittery, high-strung synth bassline on Nervous Condition that mimics a racing heartbeat.
The sudden, jarring nine-second interlude of Twilight Zone that breaks the album's flow with a sense of dread.
The way the robotic, processed vocal layers on Man From Mars create a feeling of total alienation.
