Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, delightful intrusion of a real Seattle barbershop quartet singing the intro harmonies on The Show.
The heavy, driving guitar riff that kicks off the album on The One Thing I Have Left, signaling a much edgier tone than their debut.
The emotional peak of Everything You Ever Wanted, where the driving power-ballad arrangement swells around lyrics addressing parental neglect.
