Moments Worth Listening For
The way the title track stretches into a seven-minute epic, allowing the brass section to breathe and the groove to fully lock in.
The sudden, bright shift in 'Save It for a Rainy Day' where the lyrics embrace a new day with infectious, unforced optimism.
The deep, resonant baritone of Levi Stubbs cutting through the dense disco-influenced orchestration on 'Love Is a Joy'.
