Moments Worth Listening For

The frantic staccato violins in Mr. Brightside that perfectly mimic the original's iconic guitar riff.

The swelling cello arrangement during the bridge of All These Things That I've Done, replacing the gospel choir with rich harmonic depth.

The way Somebody Told Me uses aggressive bowing to capture the dance-rock energy of the 2004 original.
