Exactly. There's much more to good design than a gloss and reflections. Good icons need to be simplified representations of an action or command that tell you what a button does with minimal distractions. (Take Susan Kare's work as a great example:<a class="user" href="http://www.kare.com/">http://www.kare.com/</a> )This icon set misses that point. Readability is sacrificed in favor of "style."
If you like the Crystal Clear Icon Pack then you should take it to the next level and install the Crystal Clear Brico Pack, which include a shellstyle theme (patches themeux.dll) and well as RocketDock toolbar (a MacOS X toolbar clone).

Here are some more decent icons, but a bit more simplified than these: <a class="user" href="http://gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/70">http://gosquared.com/liquidicity/archives/70</a>Totally agree though, Apple have their icons spot on, and have kept them that way for longer than any other company i know.
