...Coldplay's songs is at the root of both its appeal and its limitations. The sugary pickup lines ("In a haze, a stormy haze/I'll be around, I'll be loving you always") and delicate music might appeal to fans of old-fashioned pop balladry but not to many edgier listeners. Of course, Coldplay isn't particularly edgy. Berryman studied to be an engineer, like his father, before rock claimed him. Martin is reported to have a fondness for cricket and to drink rarely...
...basically boiled down to this: Eminem has some talent - all you have to do is listen to his smoothly rapped hook on "Forgot About Dre" to realize that. But, truth be told, his album isn't all that. Wyclef, OutKast, Dead Prez and even Dr.Dre made better, richer, edgier albums last year. And why are people giving Eminem credit for simply raising issues? If we gave awards to people simply for displaying the "courage" to be bigoted, John Rocker would be a Nobel laureate and Jimmy the Greek would be a Pulitzer prize winner. On the other hand, the furor...
...great shape, thanks to Don's leadership," says Ignatius, who was the Wall Street Journal's bureau chief in Beijing and Moscow as well as business editor of the Far Eastern Economic Review. "I hope to build on that, continuing to liven up the magazine; see it become edgier, wittier, more personality driven, more interactive." He will get help from an import of sorts. After two years in New York City as a writer in TIME's Business section, Karl Taro Greenfeld will become Ignatius' deputy. Says Greenfeld, who was born in Japan: "I hope to translate onto the page...
...Night (1964), from the dawn of Beatlemania: the footage is black and white, the lads are all in proper-looking suits, their hair cut just below their ears, their faces bright and clean shaven (except for McCartney's fake goatee in the opening scene). Then screen the edgier Let It Be (1970), the documentary that recorded the Fab Four's final days: the film is in gritty color, and the music is tougher. The lads are now men, their hair grown down to their shoulders. McCartney's full beard is real. The suits are long gone, and most...
Madonna collaborates with French electronic producer Mirwais on the new record--and he's much edgier than William Orbit, her Ray of Light producer, who's more commercial, more wedded to the harmonious melding of synthesizer and voice. Mirwais isn't a big believer in coherence--he wants sounds you've never heard before, Music with a capital M. But it's not completely unfamiliar. Listen and you'll hear the cool, chilly beats of Erotica, mixed with the warm melodies of Bedtime Stories, tinged with the gurgles and blips of Ray of Light; all stirred together into a rich...
