yup. angel too. fuck so many.

fun fact: two tracks from this album were used in programs Hugh Laurie starred in ("Teardrop" in House and "Angel" in the remake of Flight of the Phoenix.)

i'm not really digging the tracks with male vox, but love the female vox

But Risingson, aka the best trip hop song ever? No? How is that possible?

I agree that the Fraser songs tend to be the best ones on here, especially since Group Four is my favorite and an absolutely astonishing track in any way. That said, I really can't say I enjoy Jay's uneven vocals on Dissolved Girl. The songs sung by the actual band members are stronger imo, especially the title track. I can't get into Andy's vocals though, although the songs he sings are mostly great (escpecially Man Next Door, I really like that one). (Exchange) is the exception, that one's the weakest track on here imo, for a lot of reasons. So, vocal-wise it's a mixed bag for me. Compositorically however, this is extremely consistent. I can see myself bumping this in the future.
