...widespread dissatisfaction with the exorbitant price of music combined with the ease of obtaining music on the Internet—can’t be cured by litigation. The music industry must realize that music consumers are simply not willing to drive to the music store, find a compact disc??for the one song they long to hear—buy it for roughly $20, and upload it to their computer. The traditional process is expensive and time consuming; it forces one to pay for unwanted songs along with those that are, and, in our iPod culture, many...

Overall, the disc??s production has the fantastic ability to sound both overblown and restrained; sure, strings upon strings upon bells upon guitars upon pianos is more than any recording may need, but, here—somehow—not more than seems right...
