    Quickly, then: NHIN married melody, oblique emotion and sheer sonic power more successfully than anything since OK Computer. Ten Silver Drops is badly produced and sequenced to a remarkable extent, and demonstrates what happens when you leave out everything except the songwriting. Maybe it's a practical joke.

    I heard these guys at the Austin City Limits Festival and they ROCKED! I went and bought this album and it SUCKED! Either they are only good live or maybe like Mark H said, they were playing thier old stuff at that show I saw. I was truly dissapointed with 10 drops. It was alot lot of "guy whineing" in my opinion.

    If there's any justice, the stadiums of tomorrow await them. [Apr 2006, p.105]

    The result is a spiritual sibling to such previous great, emotionally raw ruminations on shattered personal lives as Phil Collins' Face Value and Beck's Sea Change.

    A surprisingly strong and confident record. [#13, p.88]
