Moments Worth Waiting For
The rhythmic counting intro of the title track that builds into a massive synth-brass hook.
The Beatles-esque nostalgic piano and crowd noise effects that open the track Tonight.
The aggressive, street-leaning percussion and defensive rap verses on Games that attempt a harder edge.
