Fifty-word review
Borrow It
Like they start making, and later, pieces, coming together. But somehow, find the message, though the parts, disconnected. Sometimes - just when you're starting to get in tune with the blips - an uncharacteristic but welcome ray of pop song shines through. Then back, brilliant discord, something moving, worth trying to decipher.
