 | | "This is my last crusade," says Nicky Wire in his solo debut. |
 | | Though his indelicate voice - a cross between an under-the-weather Graham Coxon and underwhelmed Lou Reed - is something only a fan of vacuuming could love, the lack of frills adds a nihilistic edge to the tasteful romance. |
 | | Sehnsucht, a tender instrumental, is named for the German word for "longing", and the theme runs like electricity through the poetic, political, intensely personal songs. |
