...Assuming their experience was like that of their other clients, the Dignitas staff then took the Stokes to see founder Ludwig Minelli, to verify their wish to die. A doctor who had reviewed their records prescribed a toxic dose of barbiturates, and the couple was taken to a bare apartment in Zurich. They likely lay down upon two single beds, ate some Swiss chocolate to help them swallow a bitter anti-vomiting medication, and then drank the barbiturate cocktail. Within minutes, they drifted into a coma, then died. The couple had already arranged for a double coffin. Since the couple...

The stage floor was laid bare for this performance and the lights focused in on the dancers. The piece was the largest of the compilation with ten dancers dressed in minimal tarzan-like costume.

The instrumentation is often too bare for the songs, barring them from getting anywhere. Roadie and Kyle’s vocals are often lacking as well, clearly straining on high and midrange notes alike. Their occasional feeble attempts at harmony only worsen the effect. Finally, the occasional extended jams (as in “T.V.”) sound frantic and gratuitous, like Phish at their worst...
