Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive transition from the acoustic intro to the full-band gallop on San Dimas High School Football Rules.
The vulnerable, stripped-back vocal delivery during the bridge of I Won't Spend Another Night Alone.
The way the final track fades into a lingering sense of unresolved travel and distance.
