...Americans fell on deaf ears this week in Ramadi, the city that al-Qaeda leaders once declared the seat of a new Islamic caliphate and capital of the Iraqi insurgency. Rather than rise up against them, the people of Ramadi Tuesday invited U.S. forces to watch a massive parade - albeit one so tightly secured that no pedestrian traffic got close to it.

As fans spilled out into the night, taking pictures with their newly signed books, I realized that this...
...faux-angst that lead-singer Jim Adkins’ voice projects, the album as a whole is without heart. Where mobs of skinny high school boys could once connect with the band’s intense—albeit fractured and unfocused—honesty, here the music sounds cheap and phoned-in. It’s easy to get lost in the monochrome sheen of throw-away numbers like the title track and its counterparts...
