     Learn to Lose was a Cynics marketing tack -- more straightforward rock
     songs, fewer covers, more riffs than chords, and more vocal harmonies. As a
     result, the effort is less vigorous than previous records. Learn to Lose is
     superbly crafted, with overdubbed guitar leads and percussion effects, but
     the energy level sounds more counterfeit and the songs are overproduced.
     Though songs like "How Could I" and "Pressure" hearken back to previous
     efforts of punked-out garage rock, others avoid any reference to R&B or
     folk, as the band settles for a dull hard rock approach. Although no band
     wants to be dubbed mere '60s revivalists, the group lost focus and tried
     too hard to be just another typical '90s rock band.
