Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, jagged guitar riff that kicks off the title track with garage-rock urgency.
The nine-minute ambient-folk drift of the final track where the music dissolves into pure atmosphere.
The rhythmic, spoken-word delivery on London Mick that feels like a personal letter to Mick Jones.
