"Don't get me wrong...I really dig Lloyd's stuff and I have every album. And it is a forgivable sin for Lloyd to venture into the land of strange experimentation. I'm not holding a grudge. If you are a lloyd cole fan, you'll want to stay away from this CD. I think this music is his attempt to write film scores, or write music to nap to, or something like that. If you're looking for melody, you won't find it here. This is Lloyd in New England writing new age stuff with the help of a computer and some recording software. While the recent "Etc" is very listenable, Plastic Wood is something that you'll end up selling on eBay for a buck. Sorry, Lloyd. It just ... Still love ya, though!"
