I’m really starting to settle into this album, and picking up little things here and there. Today’s ear worm was Nightmare Epiphany. I can almost picture a club show, somewhere about the size of the Stone Pony, Buck counts the song in, Allen, cigarette dangling from his mouth, starts in with the keys. This sounds to me like a very “Allen keyboard” song. If that makes sense.

Allen's spirit is alive in the work done by Richie and Andy on this album, that's for sure.

There's a couple of subtle things in Secret Road. One is a brief noise in the guitar track on the left channel in the second verse. Right after I say "If God had a heart that touched.." During the basic track recording, there was a momentary noise from the output jack of the Cheeseburger and the guitar cord. I could have re-recorded it, or digitally edited it to remove the noise. But while finishing the tracks, I started wanting to hear it. So it stayed in. Now I listen for it every time I play the song. Reminds me of the pickup switch in “She's So Heavy” just before the solo. Anytime we play that song live I’ve gotta make sure that effect is prominent.

Listened to both Tyranny and Secret Treaties at work today, and the one thing I love is the slide up the low string right before the intro riff begins before the second verse.
And the Leslie speaker sound on the solo in Wings Wetted Down.
Also, just love the fuzz tone on the left channel in ME 262 contrasted against the overdrive in the right channel.
It really just is those little details sometimes that make all the difference.

That little three note twang under the line "is the skull half full"

That last screaming pinch harmonic as Searchin for Celine fades into silence. Buck rarely uses a wah pedal but when he does it's always put to good use. Celine and Tenderloin both have hard solos to beat.
The claps in Fireworks.
Eric's falsetto "yeah yeah yeah" at the end of RU Ready 2 Rock.
Yes, I'm listening to Spectres right now.

Maybe my favorite little detail, there is (I think) a small five beat drum fill towards the end of the guitar solo in the you're not the one. Every time I listen to that song, I love that little part.

I like the snare explosion before the verse starts in Box In My Head.

Every time I listen to that song, I love that little part. The switch from downbeat to upbeat emphasis for a measure or two after the solo trips me up EVERY single time. That's another one of those little things: the half measures or dropped beats here and there on certain songs. Godzilla has a single measure of 3|4 in it, The Return of St. Cecilia has some half measures thrown in for that closing riff, Unknown Tongue has a half measure in between the intro and the first verse, Power Underneath Despair's chorus is 4+4+4+3 like Yes' Siberian Khatru.
