Moments Worth Waiting For
The heavy, gospel-inflected piano chords and soaring vocal harmonies that anchor the emotional weight of Trying People.
The satirical transition from the Reverend Do Good skits into the smooth, lounge-inflected groove of Pawn Star.
The way the drum break on Peer Pressure hits with a crisp, dry snap against the hypnotic, low-slung bassline.
