Moments Worth Waiting For
The swampy, hypnotic guitar groove of Down on the Riverbed that feels like heat rising from pavement.
The sudden shift into high-octane rock and roll on Georgia Slop, breaking the album's somber tension.
The devastatingly quiet character sketches in the title track, where the organ mirrors the mother's sigh.
