This allâ€"female quartet turned to producer Daniel Lanois, noted for his work with U2 and the polâ€" ished earthiness he brought to that band‘s anthemic sound. He works a similar magic here by refining LJ‘s familiar ingrediâ€" ents rather than tampering with them. The laidâ€"back, almost sensual feel to the material represents something of a deparâ€" ture, but there‘s still that pervasive funky groove that, as the one song says, gets Under Your Skin. kn‘t it reassuring that in an age where W musical deficiency sells,. bands like Phish are proving that it‘s okay to know more than three chords?

Because once you strip away the makeâ€"up and get around Manson‘s preoccupation with death and destruction, what remains is loud, dark, provocative rock.
