Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive opening fanfare of the title track where the horns reclaim their dominance over the 80s synths.
The intricate, almost mathematical vocal interplay during the bridge of Mah-Jong.
The surprisingly gritty guitar solo in Plaid that cuts through the polished studio sheen.
