The record that made everyone in 2004 want to start a band with two singers.

An urgent, high-tension explosion of emotional release and melodic precision.

Moments Worth Waiting For
The seamless transition from the glitchy interlude of The Blue Note into the explosive opening riff of Dangerous Business.
The soaring, clean-vocal chorus of Reinventing Your Exit cutting through the jagged guitar dissonance.
The haunting, stripped-back electronic pulse and guest vocals that close out the final track.
