...Hemmings' Thomas (loosely based on David Bailey) is a magazine photographer on top of the fashion world. He speeds through London in his Rolls convertible, communicating with business associates on his dashboard two-way radio. Larking about like a fifth Beatle, he's got a casual swagger that says, This is my town. So does his brutal way with the anorexic goddesses who pose for him. In a shoot with the model Verushka, he shouts insults, whispers endearments, straddles her like a rough lover with his camera clicking away at her simulated passion, then immediately stops and walks away when...
...songs still melt into one general attitude of “Yep, this is rock and roll.” The final track, “Am I Only” is the only song in which originality extends past the introduction. A guitar progression that sounds like Dashboard Confessional in slow motion supports Haves’s and Been’s voices, which taper off into a closing falsetto over what sounds like a toy xylophone. BRMC is a good, wholesome rock band, but they can’t help being reminiscent of many more distinctive bands. They?...

And though I recall with pleasure the summer day I drove my wife and film critic David Thomson through Death Valley in a 1990 Coupe de Ville with a temperature indicator on the dashboard - we hit 108 mph when the air outside was 108 degrees - my usual feeling behind the wheel is the apprehension that I'll be sideswiped by demon-driving jerks like the ones in Death Proof. When Zoe's and Mike's cars go barreling onto a highway, forcing the other...
...into the controlled chaos that dominates each song. This album doesn’t necessarily break new ground, but it pushes old ideas to the brink. “Float On” gets outshone and blown away by the full-on dance single that is “Dashboard.” Which makes sense: if it worked well before, it’ll work better louder, longer, and faster. For the most part, Brock is right on target. His once-alienated snarl now drips with charisma, accompanied by the kind of thunderous, propulsive drumming that bullies wallflowers into...
...redesigned layout is very slick but reminiscent of New Coke [March 26]. That product was eventually withdrawn in favor of the return of Classic Coke. Clear titles in the old format made it easy to pick out the articles of interest for immediate reading. Headings like Briefing and Dashboard are meaningless. Please bring back TIME Classic!
