Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's sudden pivot into a disco-fied bassline that attempts to modernize the classic group sound.
The earnest, slightly strained high notes on 'I See My Child' that provide a rare moment of raw emotionality.
The lush, string-heavy introduction to 'Mystic Woman' that evokes a cinematic 1970s urban romance.
