...their emotional breadth. In retrospect, it’s easier to see LCD’s first release for what it was: a little lazy and a bit too cute. The double-album format was an excuse to reissue Murphy’s DFA singles on the second disc, and the first frontloaded the fun, partying a bit too hearty with the opening cuts. Any attempts at sentiment felt artificial. What a difference two years have made. Murphy’s always known how to build a song, but here, every track climbs slowly to its inevitable peak. When...
...jump in, which could both legitimize the category and add a killer competitor. Now that CEO Steve Jobs has modified the Mac operating system for the iPhone, he could use that slimmed-down version for other mobile devices. Apple could employ flash memory instead of a standard hard disc, extending a mini Mac's battery life and allowing it to start up quickly, like a phone. A Jobs subnotebook would likely be bigger than FlipStart's but smaller than a laptop. Apple would have a distinct software advantage, given its focus on nongeeks...

...spell, to be sure, but at the album’s close I was left expecting more. Patrick Wolf really hints at something great here, but leaves me excited less about what I just heard than about what I’ll hear next. Too many songs on the disc are disposable or redundant, and a cohesive direction is lacking. But a few solid tracks, good musicianship, and a good deal of tonal creativity may redeem the album for some. In other words, proceed with caution...
