...their people and the difference between their intentions and the real effects of their actions. After she has been executed, Elena appears on stage, wearing the white lab coat in which she entered the show. Her face and body are riddled with bullet wounds, her heel is broken, her hair disheveled. But she does not express remorse for anything she has done; she expresses anger and grief at her perceived mistreatment and the lack of appreciation that her “children,” the people of Romania, have shown for her.“I was a stern...

Brawls and lawsuits over "Pretty Bird" - a "cherry red" belt whose "silver tanks shone so brightly you could comb your hair in their reflection" - spiral into a sordid tale of murder, kidnapping and torture.

...money made,” when the vocals fade out and leave the instrumentation unadulterated, the band creates pure magic, grounded in the solid interplay between guitar and drums. One of the best tracks on the album, “Spoilin’ for a Fight” is hair-splitting in the best possible sense. A wailing, brief guitar riff that tickles the ear leaves its calling card throughout the rest of the song, lingering in the psyche and making my fingers itch to try out that line on my Gibson SG air guitar. “Smash...
