Moments Worth Listening For

The gospel-tinged backing vocals and bright piano chords that open Knights of Malta, signaling a surprisingly sunny departure.

The driving, melodic bassline of Silvery Sometimes (Ghosts) that evokes the band's mid-90s pop sensibilities without the heavy fuzz.

The sudden, aggressive shift into a classic Jimmy Chamberlin drum fill during the bridge of Marchin' On.
