Review by scoundrel Jan 14, 2005 (edited over 5 years ago)

While NOT SO MANIC NOW as a track is okay, the track that really stands out on this single is the delicate and melancholy "A Certain Sadness." The simple arrangement and Sarah Blackwood's fragile singing are haunting, even as the tempo picks up into a near-samba. "If It Isn't You" is a little underdeveloped, and "Song No. 9" is a bit too maudlin for my tastes. "A Certain Sadness" manages to hit the right balance.
