Moments Worth Waiting For
The infectious, driving bassline on Say Peace that forces a rhythmic head-nod immediately.
The way the live percussion and guitar interlock on Courageous to create a dense, funk-inspired groove.
The transition from the spoken intro into the soulful, melodic hook of Fallin'.
