...eclectic second half, the results are fascinating. “Bury Me A G” has Jeezy rapping about getting shot over a Kanye-inspired track provided by J.U.S.T.I.C.E. League. It’s “Through The Wire” with even more bombast and even less verisimillitude (the unpunctured Jeezy’s no 50 Cent...
...doomed to lose, and the dark, satanic sky that lights all roads at midnight.But that opening line sticks with you. Something’s different.For one thing, this is the most instrumentally fleshed-out and gorgeous album Oldham has created.Recorded in Reykjavik, Iceland all the sounds, from the desperate bombast of “The Seedling” to the barely-whispered finger-picking of “Wai” have an icy purity befitting the Emily Dickinson poem—“After great pain a formal feeling comes”—from which...

Yannatos and HRO exhibited a striking ability...
...American hosts. The scenes between Hasan and Sayeed’s sister Duri (Nandana Sen) are especially powerful. Sen’s performance in these scenes demands special notice: she conveys compassion, yearning, and confusion with the poise of a true ingénue. Without resorting to bombast or histrionics, she commands absolute attention in every frame. Akhtar rises to Sen’s level—his face becomes contorted with desire and fear whenever they share the screen. These scenes make it clear that “War”’s title refers as much...
