    The effete Norwegian's music is becoming too unobtrusive for its own good. [Apr 2009, p.103]

    Listening to Rules is a surprisingly boring experience. At several instances throughout this album you wish someone would let rip with a guitar solo, fire off a rave horn or just do something to liven up proceedings.

    As catchy as much of Rules is, that hesitancy brings about an imbalance of mood.
