    These are beautiful songs, as delicate as they are rocking and heavy.

    The results can sometimes get bland; unlike its predecessor, which was moody and aimless, Drops is so polished that there are no ragged edges left to hang on to. [May 2006, p.109]

    These songs are painfully uneventful.

    This album is terrible compared to their last. They went from hard hitting, spacey rock to BORING in one album. Such a disappointment.

    Quickly, then: NHIN married melody, oblique emotion and sheer sonic power more successfully than anything since OK Computer. Ten Silver Drops is badly produced and sequenced to a remarkable extent, and demonstrates what happens when you leave out everything except the songwriting. Maybe it's a practical joke.… Expand
