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.
