...make this masterpiece where there [were] just so many different sounds happening," Maida has observed. "A lot of it was over people's heads." Somewhat paradoxically, given its status as a concept-driven album, the mission behind Machines was to keep it simple, at least musically. OLP's signature hook-laden choruses are back, but this time their lyrics are a bit more mature and thoughtful. The album's 10 tracks showcase Maida's quest not only to reconcile man with machine, but also to attain some level of spiritual realization.

...shows how this series is in a league above anything else on TV. On a network show - even in the heyday of "All in the Family" -Tony's wife would have to be a sympathetic counterbalance, the tolerant peacemaker.

The song Jo Jo's Jacket is a vague tribute to Yul Brynner, and The Hook may be the first indie-rock pirate chantey. That aside, Malkmus has grown as a songwriter. Jenny and the Ess-Dog is a churning rocker that chronicles a doomed hippie romance, while Church on White, written for his late friend, the novelist Robert Bingham, has Malkmus genuinely emoting...
