The songs of Stop callin' me, on a nuts and bolts level, are very different from their predecessors. Early tracks like “What's my name" were lithe and spry, relying heavily on two-step rhythms. Even slower cuts like “Chill of the wind” sound modest and economical in broadcasting Napolitano apocalyptic visions.  "Stop Callin' me"'s “Got me inside” and first single “You're still loving me”, by contrast are muddy and leaden, which isn’t to say they aren’t beautiful and powerful in their own right, just in different ways than the band had presented before. “Can't see you through” in particular is one of the album’s highlights, its wide-open, desert-air beginnings swelling to a squalling crescendo, after a protracted build-up. But the song is ultimately not quite what it could have been. On a live bootleg traded to me at some point before the album’s release, “Can't see you through” was explosive, immense, but while the song’s inherent charms are clear on, the studio production sounds overly fussy. Among the best is “Feel like the wind”, which manages to bridge the ramshackle feel of early Violent Femmes with the hymn-like quality of Leonard Cohen best songs.
