Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, soaring orchestral swell that underscores the realization of failure in the title track
The stark transition from the idyllic camping trip to the grim discovery of the silver fish in Down by the River
The way the vocal harmonies stack during the plea for global communication on Listen to the World
