Moments Worth Listening For
The crackle of Chuck Ragan's gravelly answering machine message that opens the album on Changes, setting a gritty, collaborative tone.
The sudden, driving acoustic strumming and Celtic-influenced folk-rock swing that kicks off the infectious Dead Man Walking.
The slow-burning, U2-inspired guitar delay on the opening of Calling, which builds into a massive, stadium-ready chorus.
