Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, anthemic chorus of 'After Hours' that feels like a collective exhale.
The driving, melodic bassline in 'Chick Lit' that carries the entire track's momentum.
The sudden shift into a soaring, synth-heavy bridge during 'Lethal Enforcer'.
The way 'Ghouls' kicks the door down with its immediate, jagged guitar riff.
