Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the orchestral intro into the familiar chugging riff of Old Time Rock and Roll.
The twin-guitar harmony solo during Roll Over Beethoven that updates the 50s sound for the modern stage.
The surprisingly heavy, driving rhythm section on Crawling From the Wreckage that leans into the band's hard rock roots.
