Mr. Cricket,

If you would please read the rest of my posts, after the single word quote above, I was merely fishing for what our thread starter considered an 'edge'. With these "flashes of music of greater complexity", it is my opinion , that these flashes make the album. By "music", I'll center on Danny, and tweak my previous opinion and rephrase... Rhythmically, this is their/his most complex album. And if it's b/c of one minute in Rosetta, than F' it, that one minute made the album for me, imho.
