Moments Worth Waiting For
The unexpected five-minute slow-burn build of the opening track that defies their usual punchy formula.
The explosive transition from the bridge to the final chorus in 'The Big One' where the bass distortion peaks.
The shimmering, dream-like synth textures that anchor the surrealist imagery of 'At the Mall in My Dreams'.
