Moments Worth Waiting For
The transition from the heavy shuffle of House of Pain into the more atmospheric textures of Sun Goes Down.
The haunting, clean guitar melody of Contact Lost serving as a brief, somber tribute to the Columbia crew.
Don Airey's synth and organ interplay on the title track proving the band's keyboard legacy was in safe hands.
