Moments Worth Listening For

The transition from delicate acoustic strumming to a massive, distorted guitar solo halfway through Salvador Sanchez.

The hypnotic, circular guitar motif in Duk Koo Kim that sustains for over fourteen minutes without losing its emotional weight.

The heartbreakingly simple vocal delivery on Carry Me Ohio as the drums enter with a slow, funeral march precision.
