Moments Worth Waiting For
The iconic, ghostly falsetto hook on the title track that cuts through the rigid drum machine beat.
The frantic, rhythmic panting and telephone sound effects that drive the tension in Obscene Phone Caller.
The sudden shift from paranoid funk to the surprisingly earnest, synth-heavy balladry of Knife.
