Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition from the acoustic-led verses to the distorted wall of sound in the chorus of track 1
The haunting, stripped-back piano and vocal intimacy that anchors the emotional weight of the album's biggest hit
The way the guitars interlock with a gritty, rhythmic precision during the bridge of Reverend Girl
