Once
The best moment in Once is from 2:38 - 2:54, the bridge. I like the way the way the drums seems to drag the song down to an even darker place than the rest of the song. A short reprieve from the assault of the rest of the song's shredding and screaming. I also really like the drums going out of the bridge, they sound pretty simple, but are effective at pumping the song back up.

Even Flow
The best moment in Even Flow is Eddie's "Yeah!" at 2:48. I like that it's a short burst that puts a break in the music, setting up the bridge.

Alive
The best moment in Alive is... the end guitar solo, the whole damn thing. It's fuckin' long, but fuckin' awesome the entire time. The rest of the song is quite boring compared to this awesome guitar solo, I always find myself waiting for it to start.

100% sincere, by the way.

I really enjoy your perspective on the band.

the drum fill / pause / drum fill back into verse one of "Alive"

I always cringe a little bit when Matt Cameron just falls short of its lagging brilliance
