Moments Worth Listening For
The way the gospel-inflected backing vocals swell during the title track's climax, emphasizing the indifference of time.
The sudden shift from social observation to the yearning, escapist hook in Zoomin'.
The cold, rhythmic precision of the drum machine on Someday contrasting with the warmth of the vocal delivery.
