Moments Worth Listening For

The sudden, haunting entry of Fiona Apple's vocal on track 5, cutting through the dusty rock arrangement.

The seamless transition from the chaotic Freakout at the Mud Palace into the brief, crystalline beauty of Daria.

The sprawling emotional climax of Venice, California where Mike Scott's voice breaks against a wall of strings.
