Moments Worth Listening For

The crushing, metallic guitar crunch that opens Dear Lover setting a darker tone than any previous record

Mike Ness's voice cracking with genuine exhaustion during the bridge of I Was Wrong

The relentless, double-time snare attack on Don't Drag Me Down that briefly recaptures their hardcore roots
