Moments Worth Listening For
The gritty, distorted guitar riff that anchors the title track, signaling a pivot away from pure electronic disco.
The transition into the bridge of 'Blue Skies' where the arrangement swells into a lush, cinematic orchestral peak.
The relentless, driving bassline of 'White Knuckle Ride' that recaptures the band's classic dancefloor urgency.
