Moments Worth Listening For
The spine-tingling vocal trade-off between Geoff Tate and Ronnie James Dio on The Chase
The frantic, double-kick driven urgency of I'm American that breaks the overture's tension
The haunting reappearance of Sister Mary's vocals during the mid-album emotional pivot
The somber, acoustic-led resolution of All the Promises closing the decades-long saga
