Moments Worth Listening For
The transition in Arriving Somewhere but Not Here from a dreamy ambient wash into a crushing, syncopated metal riff.
Adrian Belew's frantic, avian guitar solo that cuts through the title track's industrial pulse.
The layered vocal harmonies of Mikael Åkerfeldt providing a ghostly, choral depth to the climax of Lazarus.
