...littered with disco beats and captivating choruses, continue until “I See You.” While a respite from the relentless pace of the first half of the album, this slower track proves to be trite and unoriginal. Its cloyingly romantic lyrics verge dangerously towards the clich??: “you mean the world to me but you’ll never know.” Mika’s ability to craft a slow song that does not rely on catchy choruses is much better showcased in “By The Time...

Especially in light of Volpi’s notable ability to transition rather effortlessly between assuming the colloquialisms of post-Communist Russia and the jargon of American capitalism, one wonders why an author with such a nuanced command of language would resort to clich??s so elementary in composition. Volpi rounds out his scattered and unsatisfying account of 20th century history with a flurry of fictional accidents and tragedies that he seems to downplay as simple “proof of the irrationality of the future, the name we humans give to entropy...
