Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive opening riff of the title track where the rhythm section locks into a punishing, tight groove.
The delicate, fluttering clean guitar textures on Butterfly and Zebra that provide a brief ambient respite.
The soaring, anthemic melody of On Peregrine Wings that feels like a physical ascent.
