    Not what you'd call an enjoyable listen, but one to be respected anyway, and also one that worms its way into your head.

    The trio have returned to the territory of their debut, but somehow failed to recapture the lightning that animated it.

    They've sadly cranked up the wackiness. [Apr 2004, p.108]

    Clouddead's problem is their stubborn refusal to express anything.

    Ten turns out a few good songs, but there are better solo records by each of its members.
