Moments Worth Listening For
The explosive opening bass line of Lamar Vannoy that sets the breakneck pace for the entire record.
The sudden shift into the melodic, almost wistful chorus of Argyle amidst the frantic drumming.
The communal shouting during the bridge of The BMX Song that captures the band's core ethos of friendship.
