Moments Worth Waiting For
The infectious, driving guitar riff that opens 'The Riff' setting a high-octane tone.
The tongue-in-cheek lyrical defiance and massive chorus of 'We’re Not Bad for the Kids (We’re Worse)'.
The hauntingly cinematic keyboard intro of 'Schizo Doll' before the heavy guitars kick in.
