Moments Worth Listening For
The sudden shift from a driving rock beat to a lonely, echoing accordion solo halfway through Wu-Tang.
The way the vocal harmonies stack into a dizzying, claustrophobic tower during the final chorus of Sleep’s Older Sister.
The transition between the frantic energy of Let’s Fall in Lava and the 59-second ambient stillness of Telescope.
The dry, bone-shaking bass line that anchors the otherwise whimsical melody of In the Dead Mall.
Where This Album DepartsEach spoke is a trait. The orange shape shows where this album pulls away from — or holds to — the rest of the artist’s catalogue. Tap for more.
