Moments Worth Listening For

The percussive snap of the six-string fretless bass intro on Jerry Was a Race Car Driver.

Tom Waits' gravelly cameo as the voice of Tommy the Cat during the breakdown.

The shift from the ominous upright bass pluck to the heavy distorted groove in American Life.

The chaotic, multi-layered vocal chant that closes out Los Bastardos.
