JimDJul 7, 2006Listen to this when drunk and down. Too many reviewers are clearly living happy lives, as they fail to see the point of this album. The "My Bloody Valentine" influences are pretty cool.

ByronBApr 28, 2006Very solid, definitely an improvement on an already excellent sound. The focus on melody is surprising and rewarding for the listener. "Daddy's In The Doldrums" and "Lightning Blue Eyes" are the pick of the litter.

MarcHJul 20, 2006This album is terrible compared to their last. They went from hard hitting, spacey rock to BORING in one album. Such a disappointment.

CablesApr 25, 2006It's definately not as enlightened as Now Here Is Nowhere, but it has it's high points. Songs like Alone, Jealous and Stoned are melodic and sweeping where songs like Daddy in the Doldrums are.. well.. just boring.

rbApr 28, 2006Not what I expected. The first album had a nice mix of heavy "one louder" type songs with mellower pieces. The new album stays more even keel. When listening to the first album, I could think of Black Sabbath influence. The new album is more Mercury Rev with long quiet intros. Overall, an enjoyable headphones album with too much production.

KGApr 30, 2006More cohesive than Here is Nowhere but "i want to know if it's still possible" is a disappointment (especially considering the garth hudson cameo) and "faded lines" is not as effective due to the same-y-ness of the sound. first five tracks are five star, lil dip in momentum, but "1000 seconds" ends things perfectly. stronger as a whole than than Nowhere, i eagerly await what comes next.

danMay 16, 2006Quickly, 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.

LeylaHSep 26, 2006I heard these guys at the Austin City Limits Festival and they ROCKED! I went and bought this album and it SUCKED! Either they are only good live or maybe like Mark H said, they were playing thier old stuff at that show I saw. I was truly dissapointed with 10 drops. It was alot lot of "guy whineing" in my opinion.

UncutIf there's any justice, the stadiums of tomorrow await them. [Apr 2006, p.105]

The result is a spiritual sibling to such previous great, emotionally raw ruminations on shattered personal lives as Phil Collins' Face Value and Beck's Sea Change.

Under The RadarA surprisingly strong and confident record. [#13, p.88]
