Moments Worth Listening For
The unexpected crunch of the glam-rock guitar solo on Kissed It that contrasts Gray's smoky delivery.
The choir-backed swell of Beauty in the World that transforms a simple melody into a massive anthem.
The raw, self-referential honesty in the title track where the lyrics confront the industry's demands.
