...Water Act has been a visible, undeniable success. Everyone benefits every day. Streams that were murky with mill waste and untreated sewage now are clear and swimmable. No matter; because oil, gas and real estate interests pleaded inconvenience, water-quality standards are to be lowered. Protection of wetlands, which nourish marine life, is to be cut at a time when fish-producing U.S. coastal ecosystems are nearly barren...

Still, they have enjoyed a heartening commercial success, which should increase nicely with Our Time in Eden. It sounds like their best album yet. But for a group that exists so safely away from trends, it's the afterlife of the music that counts; not the initial impact...
