Moments Worth Listening For

The jarring but brilliant transformation of the synth-heavy Mr. Brightside into a finger-snapping swing number.

The swelling orchestral climax of My Way that serves as the album's definitive, self-referential closing statement.

The intimate, piano-led opening of Ordinary World that gradually builds into a lush, cinematic string arrangement.
