Moments Worth Waiting For
The strained, unrefined vocal crack during the chorus of track 1 that signals raw teenage desperation.
The heavy, grunge-indebted guitar riff opening track 2 that feels significantly more aggressive than their later pop hits.
The sudden transition from German to English lyrics mid-track, revealing the band's early global ambitions.
