Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift into a sprawling, multi-part prog odyssey during the title track's final minutes.
Intricate father-son vocal harmonies that elevate the jangly chorus of You Can't Fool Me Dennis.
The way the guitar tone on The Boy Who Ran Away perfectly captures the frantic energy of a teenage escape.
