Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden transition from the meta-commentary of the Intro into the iconic keyboard hook of the title track.
Ian Anderson's unmistakable flute fluttering through the synth textures of On Tuesday.
The operatic absurdity of the O Sole Mio chorus breaking into a high-energy pop rhythm.
