Moments Worth Listening For
The thunderous, galloping drum fill that opens the title track alongside a wall of aggressive violins.
The sudden, haunting shift into a minor key during the bridge of 'My Mistakes Were Made for You'.
The way the dual-lead harmonies on 'Standing Next to Me' perfectly mimic the tight vocal layering of 60s pop duos.
