“Our Love Saves Us” is very rhythmic, rocking, and memorable in every possible way, making it an absolutely excellent track.
“Bring Out Your Dead” has some appropriately metaphorical lyrics and is the album’s heaviest track (both musically and vocally).
Lyrically a response to the previous track, “Withering” features some interesting musical and vocal rhythms in the verses and an excellent, unexpectedly intense bridge.
