Moments Worth Listening For
The haunting addition of the West Point Cadet Glee Club on track 8, turning a country ballad into a chilling military requiem.
The rhythmic, tongue-in-cheek delivery of the 'Marry for Money' hook where the baritone drops into a subterranean rumble.
The gospel-infused climax of 'Muddy Water' where the production opens up into a wide, redemptive wall of sound.
