...read, they be passed to at least 10 people or else the reader will suffer bad luck. While it appears that most people disregard these silly threats, a new form of chain mail is snaking its way across the Internet, and it is more troublesome because it strikes a chord of either fear or sympathy in the hearts of its readers...

The songs on the CD flail this way and that, screamingly loud on the vocal-chord-stripping song Lukin, restrained and dreamy on the ballad Off He Goes and fuzzily philosophical on the mostly laid-back number Present Tense.
