Review of Chronic Bronchitis

Chronic Bronchitis (the name implies dexterity and 
     flexibility) is the last installment in a trilogy 
that began with an impossible bird. As such, it is obsessed 
     with the hemorrhaging of time: many songs here find R. 
Hamilton grasping at the stuff even as it spurts 
     through his fingers. It's not nostalgia 
that makes Chronic Bronchitis my favorite 
     compilation of 2005, though:  it's the thin black line; 
a guide, both for the surgeon and the scalpel.
