Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the acoustic strumming of the intro into the massive, distorted bass drop of the title track.
The haunting middle-eastern vocal melody that weaves through the reggae rhythm on East to the West.
The way the percussion strips back to a simple hand-clap during the final plea of Is Love Enough.
