...studio-slick that it will probably see as much live performance as past hit “Perfect Drug”: that is to say, none. And while a couple of tracks—like “Survivalism”—will help to sate the hunger of those seeking another “Downward Spiral,” the album as a whole is slightly more reminiscent of early, “Pretty Hate Machine” Nails. “Year Zero” is clearly trying to tell a story, but at its close...

We all know that a radical, all-encompassing love of humanity can be one of the most transformative forces on earth. Rajmohan Gandhi's book reminds us that it can spring from the most ordinary of hearts...
...unless you have a book to promote, there's often no other reason any writer or columnist has to do the show. If Rich wants to "talk in an informed way," I'm sure there's an open mike at C-Span Radio, and if there's really a hunger for such adult dialogue, does it really have to be accompanied by childish crudeness?
