...years after the station’s inception, only Harvard buildings had access to WHRB, via wiring threaded through the system of steam tunnels beneath the campus. Along with disc jockeys and announcers, WHRB’s membership included a board of student engineers who spent much of their time navigating the intricate tunnel system and making sure the network was running smoothly...
...consumers be trusted to control their own music without pirating the record labels and the artists they produce right into the ground? The answer is yes.

On this, her third solo album, Lavigne aspires to the same fuck-you pretension that marked her past two discs, but the sound is ultimately too polished to pull it off. Sure, overproduced music can be fun, but it has to full-throatedly embrace that spirit of plasticity. Lavigne has abandoned her formerly rambunctious ‘tude for something lifeless and much less dynamic. Transformation has often made for interesting...
