Moments Worth Listening For
The way the brass section swells into a cinematic, almost Bond-like theme during the bridge of La Luna.
The transition from the driving ska beat of Death of a Rude Boy into its more atmospheric, dub-inflected middle section.
The self-referential wink of the piano hook in My Girl 2, echoing their 1979 classic while sounding entirely modern.
