Yes, Natalie is gone. No, 10,000 Maniacs did not go out with her. This album is indicative of a band searching for a new identity since the departure of their high-profile lead singer. I really like the identity they've chosen. If you are doubting that the band has any good left, listen to Across the Fields, Even With My Eyes Closed, and More Than This. They are as good as any of the Maniacs' former singles. This album is truly a beautiful masterpiece!
