Moments Worth Waiting For
The soaring duet interplay on We'll Be a Dream where the female vocal adds a new emotional layer to the band's sound.
The rhythmic, punchy guitar stabs in the opening of She Takes Me High that immediately set a high-energy pace.
The way the production opens up into a massive, shimmering wall of sound during the final chorus of The Story of Your Life.
