Moments Worth Waiting For
The sudden shift from rhythmic spoken-word verses to the soaring melodic hook in the title track.
The raw, unrefined strain in Taka's voice during the bridge of track 2, hinting at the power he would later master.
The driving, funk-influenced bass line that carries the momentum of P.P.S.H. before the guitars explode.
