Query: Natalie is nothing without 10000 maniacs.

Carnival is a great tune. Natalie has a tremendous voice, her timbre is accentuated by the metre that she seems fond of, (These Are Days). 10000 Maniacs provided a background sound of plucky, almost amateurish, acoustics which by contrast, lent credence and strength to Natalies already strong vocals. Since solo, Natalie seems to have gotten superficially serious on us, and seems to suffer from the more serious, and mechanical acoustics, of late.
