for a track to really pop or snap, typically after the bridge there's a significant build. added instrumentation, a key change, bigger vocals, more ad libs, etc. it climaxes.

Ross 83 has 0 climaxes
I think the sparse simplicity of the production is what lends the album its appeal. No histrionics or thumping beats.
