...most underrated oddities of Harvard is its complete lack of a TV culture. Go visit almost any other school, and televisions are a ubiquitous element of college life. While we've found a way to make due without, and common room viewing has some charm, FlyBy wonders how much studying we'd miss out on if there were Law and Order marathons and VH1 countdowns available at any time...

But the actual product has little in common with the past achievements of the bandmembers. Tinted Windows is 36 minutes of three-chord power-pop, and one is hard-pressed to find any connection to the textural diversity of “Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness,” Smashing Pumpkins’ 1995 masterwork...
