Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the delicate piano of the title track into its crushing, monolithic final riff
The way 'Interstellar' builds from a rhythmic pulse into a swirling vortex of layered guitar textures
The sudden, heavy drop in 'The Sick Rose' that feels like falling into a deep ocean trench
