Moments Worth Listening For
The iconic 'beep beep yeah' hook and engine-revving synth effects that launch the main chorus of track 6.
The transition from the tight, rhythmic verses to the soaring, gospel-inflected vocal harmonies on track 9.
The aggressive, gated-reverb drum fills that punctuate the high-stakes romantic metaphors in 'Gun for Hire'.
