...Clumsy was the first stage of this transition, an album that successfully drew upon a mix of artful designand precise production, and this trend reached its unfortunate apex in their latest release, Happiness Is a Not Fish That You Can Catch, a self-conscious album that substituted earnest glam-rock sheen for talented composition...
From the cover, the name and the fact that he also released his previous album around Halloween, you might wonder whether Glampire might be some rip-off of the original glam scene.

And she's only one among the well-imagined, glam-free nerds and burnouts in this high-spirited, heartfelt story set in 1980. Amid TV's endless regatta of 1,000-watt, magazine-cover-ready superteens, NBC has created a rich, character-driven ensemble show, fueled by Styx music and outsiders' gallows humor, that's more Richard Linklater than Kevin...
