Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the palm-muted verse to the wide-open landslide chorus of All In
The rhythmic, synth-driven pulse of Halfway Gone that pivots the band toward a more modern pop sensibility
The raw, gravelly desperation in the bridge of Wrecking Ball as the guitars swell to a peak
