...Still, most environmentalists believe that political will and the action of individuals is necessary to solve our environmental problems, in direct contrasts to economists who put their faith in market self-regulation. Recent events in California, however, provide some strong support that both groups are right, while both are wrong: The free market does provide some measure of environmental protection, even though political will is the most effective tool in the environmental arena. They also show a disturbing trend in American government away from free-market efficiency and into an economics of consumption, a dangerous precedent to be setting...

While that first volume was a sweet and eclectic (and perhaps corny) manifestation of Art Alexakis' nostalgia, its successor rips those dreamy sentiments to pieces without even bothering to pause for breath. From its bitter opening to its bittersweet conclusion, the distorted fuzz-guitars scarcely let up, striking and churning in sullen anger...
