Moments Worth Listening For
The transition from the motorik drive of the title track into the hushed, fingerpicked vulnerability of the Bert Jansch cover.
The way the acoustic version of Cherry Chapstick stretches out, trading the original's fuzz for a skeletal, rhythmic intimacy.
The sudden burst of melodic distortion that anchors the mid-section of Styles of the Times.
