...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.

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...
