Moments Worth Listening For
The aggressive staccato bowing on Reptilia that perfectly mimics the original's driving guitar riff.
The way the cello takes over the walking bassline on Last Nite, giving it a woody, percussive bounce.
The soaring violin melody on 12:51 capturing the synth-like guitar tone of the Casablancas original.
