Moments Worth Listening For

The shimmering vibraphone intro of Silhouettes that stretches for over a minute before the vocals enter.

Hayley Williams' voice emerging from the haze on Uncomfortably Numb to provide a haunting counterpoint.

The slow, heavy build of Doom in Full Bloom that eventually collapses into a beautiful, layered orchestral coda.
