Album Intro：
As you might expect from a band whose primary interests include psychedelic space-rock jams and song titles like 'It's A Bad Wind That Don't Blow Somebody Good,' the Secret Machines are in no particular hurry. So don't be put off by the fact that the tracklist for the Texas-born, New York-based band's second full-length album only includes eight songs. Each one is epic (and not in the bad Creed 'arms-spread-on-the-mountaintop' way): packing in more drama, billowing guitar solos and stealth pop hooks than the Strokes' entire back catalog. On Ten Silver Drops the hirsute trio seems to have discovered a sense of economy, particularly in toxic garage tracks like 'Lightning Blue Eyes' and 'Faded Lines,' but there's no reason for concern. Unlike everything else the Secret Machines do, it's short-lived. The charmingly titled 'Daddy's In The Doldrums' lingers for a full eight-minutes, making it worth at least three songs in one. --Aidin Vaziri
