Review - :
{^I Am Not a Doctor} could have been called Moloko 2.0. A better integration of tech appeal and sex appeal than the group's debut, {^Do You Like My Tight Sweater?}, {$Moloko}'s singing, writing, and musical reach are all upgraded on {^I Am Not a Doctor}. The result is a more entertaining and less self-conscious album. Songs like {&"The Flipside,"} {&"Blink,"} and {&"Pretty Bridges"} offer a stylized {\pop} take on {\jungle}, while the {\ballads} {&"Downsized,"} {&"Caught in a Whisper,"} and {&"Should've Been Could've Been"} mix pathos with the band's dry wit. The deadpan {\new wave} of {&"Sorry,"} the cyberfunky {&"The Id,"} and the {\techno} {\torch song} {&"Sing It Back"} show off {$Moloko}'s expanded range. Musically and vocally, {$Roisin Murphy} and {$Mark Brydon} blend their talents more smoothly on {^I Am Not a Doctor}. {$Murphy}'s voice melds with the horns, strings, and keyboards backing her, while real and electronic drums punctuate each song expressively. A balance of contradictions, {$Moloko} keep inventiveness and listenability high on their second album. ~ Heather Phares, All Music Guide
