	I would argue that TOOM is more consistent, at least with its  
'sound', that electronic drone, and that L&T has some very good songs  
on it and is only 'marred' by its eclecticism.  Plus I don't care for  
the last cut...but that's taste.  MT is consistent in sound, which  
country/roots tone it shares with L&T, and consistently good  
lyrically.  I love the final cut as well.  A testament to a  
terminally creative individual.  Male, too.  Peculiar.
