Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the muted, rhythmic verse into the soaring, apologetic piano-led chorus of the title track.
The aggressive, driving guitar interplay and gang-vocal energy that kicks off Same Direction.
The atmospheric, five-minute slow-burn build of Disappear that closes the album with uncharacteristic scale.
