Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the tender croon of Something into the playful, bouncing rhythm of Octopus's Garden
The heavy, blues-drenched guitar solo on I Want You (She's So Heavy) that channels the original's intensity through a jazz lens
The lush, cinematic string swell that opens Golden Slumbers, setting a sophisticated tone for the entire record
