Split Mind
Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening riff of Electric Guitar that feels like a mission statement for the entire record.
The way the vocal harmonies stack and swell during the chorus of Alone With Everybody, creating a wall of melodic sound.
The jagged, slightly overdriven guitar solo in Split Mind that closes the album with a sense of unresolved tension.
