Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden, dry a cappella vocal harmony that opens the album with startling clarity.
The frantic, interlocking instrumental trade-offs between violin and guitar in the middle of Magnum Opus.
The way the piano and acoustic guitar build into a soaring, symphonic climax on Cheyenne Anthem.
