Moments Worth Listening For

The opening palm-muted chug of Reach for the Sky that signals a triumphant return after eight years away

The raw, cracking vulnerability in Ness's voice during the bridge of Don't Take Me for Granted

The way the guitars interlock with a country-fried twang on the intro to Highway 101
