...even given the album’s often trite enviro-spiritual themes and archaic aesthetic, Enya comparisons would be both unflattering and unfair. Unlike the infamous neo-pagan Yoga soundtrack artist-cum-New Age diva, there is nary a hint of affectation in Todd’s idiosyncratic alto...
...parents could perhaps look to us for guidance. Half our parents are divorced, have financial problems or are stuck in jobs they loathe. Instead of making it seem as if we twixters are spoiled brats, why not praise us as a generation that refuses to fall into the same archaic conventions that have led to so many dysfunctional families?

It is considerably harder to render a modern counterpoint. The current generation of Harvard students stands in the shadow of 368 years of notable alumni; a university with this kind of history can become content to rest on its laurels rather than work towards improvement...
