...It’s Blitz!” experiments with various sounds that, although not as successful as in the first half, offer an interesting insight into where the band might go next. “Dragon Queen” flirts a little too much with disco beats and is the sort of song that fans of the band may have feared would be produced by abandoning guitars in favor of keyboards. Fortunately, the closing duo, “Hysteric” and “Little Shadow,” ensure the album closes on a high. The former...
...located in East Rutherford. The name is a nod to the heavenly summer home immortalized by English poet Samuel Taylor Coleridge: "In Xanadu did Kubla Khan/ A stately pleasure-dome decree." It's also the name of a ridiculous 1980 Olivia Newton-John movie involving roller-skating muses and disco. Slated to open in August, Xanadu, a wannabe shopping paradise, will be a 2.4 million-sq.-ft. retail and entertainment complex located 3½ miles from the Empire State Building, across the Hudson River at the intersection of the New Jersey Turnpike and two heavily trafficked state roads through which...
...does—play the guitar. Seismic, indeed. “When Karen orders, ‘No guitars for Nick!’ it makes you approach things in a different way,” noted Zinner in the SPIN magazine cover story for March.

...needed to convert you. In the towering period that spanned The Joshua Tree to Zooropa, U2 made stadium-size art rock with huge melodies that allowed Bono to throw his arms around the world while bending its ear about social justice. After 1997's Pop - a disastrous mix of disco and hubris that provided a harrowing glimpse of career death - the band decided to banish the lead singer's politics to venues like the U.N. and focus on writing songs whose chief ambition was to charm rather than to persuade. This late-version U2 has produced a run of hits...
...Pure At Heart: it demands ellipses, or at the very least, abbreviation. The Pains, TPOBPAH, perhaps PBPH, or, as their label Slumberland Records prefers, POBPAH. One verb short of a clause, it is arguably the most misguided decision in band-naming since the exclamation point in Panic! At the Disco. Thankfully, Kip, Kurt, Alex, and Peggy—who, in a seeming reversal on their word count policy, prefer to forego their surnames—are much better at making music than they were at christening themselves.On their self-titled debut album, they prove themselves to be unapologetically dedicated...
