    Making no palpable effort to crack the conventional with overflowing melodies and love songs, Bird instead latches up the intellect to create tiny packages of literature that make always leave you thinking--and snapping your fingers at the same time.

    The music's intellectualism obscures as many truths as it unveils. [Mar 2007, p.130]
