The line between subdued and boring is a fine one. And Case Studies fall on the latter side more often than not in this LP. 1 and 2 both have pretty cringe balladey intro, but whilst 1 does unfold well into not bad a song afterwards with the drums and strings, 2 remains just as boring. And like most songs here (they are all quite long and the album would be a lot better with 10-15min shaved off), it overstays its welcome. The wannabee pinkfloyde electric guitars added at the end don't do much. This applies also to 3 which is otherwise really quite a boring countryey ballad that ends weirdly. 4 is kinda fun in its more christmas caroley parts, but the solo female vox is less engaging, and when the regular CS vox come they really dont fit. So far we were easily looking at a 2.5 or so. 5 is a little more upbeat, and not a ballad, with some fun guitar tones: quite an improvement. From then on the album gets a lot better, with 6 being more like what I remember from LP1 - though it is the shortest track here alas - and the first track I outright liked. 7 is then an overlong boring ballad, but the guitar sweep stuff it does to try and maintain interest near the end are actually quite cool. 8 is a cute song with slightly annoying vocals, 9 is a soft milder song with a nice midtrack wiht strings, and 10 is an okay song to close. Alas the track that manages the subdued folk best here is 11, a bonus track, but certainly a highlight of this. 2.7
