Moments Worth Listening For
The cello mimicking Layne Staley's iconic vocal slide during the opening of Man in the Box.
The frantic, staccato violin work on Them Bones that captures the original's odd-time signature urgency.
The way the arrangement of Rooster swells into a cinematic, mournful crescendo during the chorus section.
