Wolf Like MeThe band drops from a hard-running riff into a much quieter middle. Keep listening through that stretch. The loud return works as a final cue precisely because you’ve had a little room to breathe before it.0 - 2
B.O.B. (Bombs Over Baghdad)The fast beat is there from the start. What makes the last stretch useful is the shift from tightly packed verses to the choir and group chant, which give all that motion a new shape.0 - 3
WitchcraftThe sung opening gives you time to settle into the song before the beat comes in fast. The later lull leaves enough of the tune to keep you listening, and the return of the drums makes the final stretch feel like a new start.0 - 4
GeyserThe first keyboard notes seem to hang in the air. Then the drums and guitars come down behind Mitski’s voice, turning a held-back opening into a short, concentrated rush for the end of a session.0 - 5
Go (feat. Q-Tip)Q-Tip pushes the verses on over a clipped bass sound. The fuller synthesizer refrain keeps returning until its rise becomes a cue of its own. Pick it when the last stretch needs a clear point to start.0 - 6
Cold WarMonáe’s vocal keeps pushing at the edges of the brisk beat. The guitar break and the vocal’s return make a short track feel like it has a finishing stretch of its own.0 - 7
BLACKOUTA fast drum pattern and chant push the first part along, then the band changes the emphasis and makes the last section feel heavier. It’s a useful short finish when you want impact more than a steadily rising speed.0 - 8
All My LifeThe clipped opening sets up the band’s first big entrance, but the more useful cue comes later. A repeated vocal phrase keeps tightening until drums and guitars throw their weight back behind it.0 - 9
Bulls on ParadeThe scratching guitar break interrupts a heavy riff without letting the tempo fall away. When the riff and shouted refrain lock back together, the last part has more force than another straight run through the chorus would.0 - 10
AerodynamicThe guitar figure sounds like a break in the dance track at first. When the pulse comes back underneath it, the two parts suddenly lock together. The closing keyboard passage gives you somewhere to ease off after that lift.0
