| | Moods for Moderns: Loud and Clear: Pitchfork Review (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-14) |
 | | Loud and Clear offers two different musical styles over the course of its 10-track duration. |
 | | First, during a brief, bittersweet moment, Force emulates Elliott Smith, both in melody and inflection, with his vocals on the otherwise energetic "Slacker Ways." Smith is one of those nostalgic pop songwriters, though, so this doesn't come as much of a surprise. |
 | | Still, having been saturated with 90's culture for half of my life, these associations come more easily to me. And after hearing the rest of Loud and Clear, no matter how sincere their love for nostalgia is, I can't help but wonder if they still watch primetime TV. |
