Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive entry of the gospel choir and brass section on What Makes a Good Man? that instantly elevates the track to an anthem.
The eerie, swamp-inflected guitar lick that opens Can't Play Dead, setting a dark and cinematic tone for the entire record.
The way the percussion mimics a vintage hip-hop breakbeat on The Big Bad Wolf, grounding the garage rock in a rhythmic groove.
