...within a genre as schizophrenic as mathcore must be more than top-notch musicians. They must also be tasteful—too many blasts of guitar noise, time signature changes, abrupt genre switches, and monotonous shrieks, and the listeners may go running for their parents’ Simon and Garfunkel records. Thankfully, however, TDEP demonstrate such a tight command of their craft that “Option Paralysis” manages to be a captivating, and at times sublime listen...
...nominal idea of the concerts was to trace rock's journey by pairing up Hall inductees of different vintages and styles for performances that highlight influence. Or just generate a highlight. The first night tilted toward fogyism, with Crosby, Stills and Nash, Simon and Garfunkel and Stevie Wonder, among others, doing serviceable work before ceding the stage to Bruce Springsteen and the E Street Band, who gamely refused to turn the show into their own by playing with Darlene Love, John Fogerty and Billy Joel.

Inclusion of Jimi Hendrix’s rendition of “All Along the Watchtower” and the overused Simon and Garfunkel hit “The Sounds of Silence” feels heavy-handed and forced, but Bob Dylan’s “The Times They Are a-Changin’” brilliantly caps a montage explaining the alternate world in which the Watchmen reside. This is almost enough...
