The problem with mosh parts in metal and punk is that moshing has become a trope. It's the thing you do when you're at a show like going on a roller coaster at a carnival. It's safe, expected danger. But the whole point of moshing is that it's supposed to actually be physically dangerous, and the whole point of mosh parts in songs is that they're supposed to make you want to hurt someone in a visceral, worrying kind of way. If all a mosh part does is make you want to mosh then the band is handing you your carnival ticket rather than grabbing your subconscious by the throat. Bands like Homewrecker know to throw down a mosh part that drags your inner psychopath out with or without your consent and it is ugly and glorious and this song is pure violence.
