Moments Worth Waiting For
The bright, jangly guitar riff that opens 'We're Gonna Have a Good Time' setting an immediate upbeat tone.
The lush, multi-tracked vocal harmonies in 'I Know That It's Magic' that hint at a more sophisticated pop sensibility.
The whimsical, almost psychedelic production flourishes on the 'Theme From Mission Magic' that close the album.
