Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from melodic singing to guttural lion-like roars during the climax of Listen to the Lion.
The hypnotic, ten-minute interplay between the acoustic guitar and the Moog synthesizer on Almost Independence Day.
The way the brass section punches through the stream-of-consciousness lyrics on the title track.
