Moments Worth Listening For
the sudden, jagged electric guitar solo that tears through the somber opening of Meant to Be
the way the title track builds from a skeletal acoustic riff into a towering, organ-drenched wall of sound
the hauntingly high sustain in the final minute of Bow Down to Love that feels like a physical release
