by Thomas SchulteLungfish presents another chapter in the thinking man's modern rock. On this album, Lungfish continues a pattern of isolating crypto-philosophical songs with minimalist free-rock instrumentals. The resultant mood is somber and cathartic, focused and pointed, intellectual and freeing. Lungfish suggests simplicity as a gateway to melody, and poetry as a vehicle for intelligent observation. Single-mindedly, Lungfish combats obsession ("If love is all you hope to find/Love will ruin your mind") and chaotically they call for greater control ("Bridges crossing, bridges crossing land/Subterranean rivers seeping through the sand: Oppress yourself") over a deconstructed and unornamented rock groove.
