...Hollow,” while dangerously close to chord-for-chord replication of “Imagine” (and the intro to “Don’t Look Back in Anger”), is a short but satisfying piano-driven break from the mayhem, and transitions nicely into the horn-dominated “An Eluardian Instance.” “Death Is Not a Parallel Move” has a nice pastoral acoustic section which also flows coolly into following track, “Beware Our Nubile Miscreants,” this time through...
