Moments worth listening for

Where the writing does something specific.

  • Change My Ways

    The shift in perspective reveals a struggle against personal demons as the narrator confronts their choices directly.

    This direct confrontation creates a compelling tension that emphasizes the internal battle, making it one of the more introspective moments on an otherwise aggressive album.
