...have any room to get to know these characters when they’re murdering people left and right. While the premise did facilitate some nice touches of Cranston crazy, I was much more fond of last Sunday’s episode, which filled in some of the character background the show so desperately needed.This is not to say that “Breaking Bad” is without any charms. The unique setting of Albuquerque, New Mexico adds regional flavor to the show. I’m also inordinately fond of Walter’s cerebral-palsy afflicted...
...forever, and higher parts sounded full and organic. Merritt played mostly rhythm on the bouzouki, sharing lead vocals with pianist Claudia Gonson and Shirley Simms, the band’s new singer.

...inoffensive, disposable dance single. After a few more clubby songs, ninth track “Can’t B Good” represents a return to the familiar light pop of Jackson’s earlier career. Jackson is in comfortable territory here; producers recede somewhat into the background and the focus shifts to the vocal melody. The goals here may not be lofty, but the execution is near perfect, and fans of the slightly retro style will be happy to know that Jackson hasn’t abandoned them. Unfortunately, “So Much Betta?...
