'Looks That Kill'

Mars' knack for crafting catchy riffs is showcased in 'Looks That Kill.' He utilizes pull-offs and hammer-ons throughout the verse sections, seamlessly transitioning into the power-chord-driven choruses. The solo features Mars' expressive use of sustain, creating long, wailing notes that complement the song's dark undertones.

'Smokin' In The Boys Room'
