After nine weeks of dry courtroom exposition, the jury essentially concluded that the defendants had used McDougal's savings and loan as a private cookie jar, dipping into it for bogus loans to bankroll their many business schemes.

But the lyrics are more enigmatic, and the songs have ebb and flow instead of the straight-ahead sonic attack that characterized Cracked Rear View. When...
