Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive drum fill that launches the title track into its first soaring chorus.
The transition from the frantic energy of the main tracks into the seven-minute epic sprawl of the closer.
The bridge of Paperthin Hymn where the guitars drop to a shimmer before the final vocal surge.
