There is something disorienting about being in the company of three Pat Buchanans, especially with one of them referring to himself in the third person. Something in his gaze told me he doesn't ever sleep, and might possibly breathe through his eyes.

Machina is unreconstructed alternative rock, with screeching guitars and obscure lyrics. The best songs (the incantatory The Everlasting Gaze, the thunderously tuneful Stand Inside Your Love) make the less-compelling numbers worth slogging through...
