EXERCISES is a rather droll and melancholy album that finds the band indulging their folksier side. What makes this such a greater disappointment is that none of these songs even dabble with the hard rock fireworks that made their debut at least intriguing. Instead, we're left with a fairly depressing collection that only diehards would want to revisit. For what it is, it's not terribly executed, just a few steps in the wrong musical direction.
