Sadly, the same magic was not recaptured last spring, when Under Glass was recorded. The problem is balance: too much silt, not enough jelly. The murky mood is there, the drifting drums and deep bass. But the guitars just sound grimy this time, the drones suffocating, the world lifeless. What makes Well Oiled so wonderful are the phantasms of color and thriving, unfamiliar musical life; Under Glass has next to none of this. And when it's over, the primary feeling I'm left with is an increasingly urgent need to decompress. (Glen Hirshberg)
