Moments Worth Waiting For
The explosive transition into the chorus of KISEKI where the piano and guitars merge into a single vibrating mass of joy.
The sheer punk-rock velocity of Linda Linda that captures the chaotic spirit of the original with added heavy metal weight.
The surprisingly tender but still massive build-up in the bridge of Runner before the final triumphant refrain.
