Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive, gospel-tinged piano chords that kick off the opening track
Bishop Briggs' gritty vocal entrance on So Tied Up providing a sharp contrast to Willett's falsetto
The ambient street noise and spoken word snippets in the LA River interlude
The slow-burn build of Restless that eventually erupts into a shimmering synth-rock climax
