Moments Worth Listening For
The jarring transition from the psychedelic swirl of Armenia City in the Sky into the mundane brass of a baked beans jingle.
The way the acoustic guitar in Sunrise sounds so close you can hear the fingers sliding against the strings.
The proto-Tommy grandiosity of Rael as it builds into an orchestral-style rock climax.
