Maudlin of the Well was fantastic! Naked City was just a little too far on the jazz side, and I often forgot I was listening to an album for Metal Wars. Naked City felt a little too wacky for me as well, and I haven't decided if its true art or ostentatiousness. As for Maudlin of the Well, I think they had a real focus with that album, one that I'm glad I heard.
