Moments Worth Listening For
The title track's sudden shift into a three-part vocal harmony that sounds like a lost Queen session.
The seamless transition from the acoustic intimacy of 'Our Wonderful Lives' into the driving rock of 'Common Ground'.
The way 'The Fight of Our Lives' serves as a breathless, sub-two-minute overture that sets the high-stakes tone.
