After a couple of albums of bright, jazzy jams, this album is much darker. The addition of a greater variety of sounds makes this the closest thing they've done to a world music album. But it's still DMB: the average track length is just under seven minutes and the virtuoso playing still shines through. One of their best.

Favorite tracks: Stay (Wasting Time), The Stone, Rapunzel

If there was any question about whether her debut was a fluke, this put it to rest. This is a great collection of songs.

This album, their last, is the weakest in their catalog. It's still a fine collection, given that Grant-Lee Phillips is such a strong lyricist. But it would have benefited from the removal of two or three of the weaker songs.

Favorite tracks: 8 Mile Road, Everybody Needs a Little Sanctuary, Truly, Truly
