...rock, and his prowess is on display throughout the album. He and guest singer Michael Monroe (formerly of the band Hanoi Rocks) take the Dead Boys' 1978 tribute to nihilism, Ain't It Fun, and reinvent it as a duet, infusing the song with new energy through the interplay of their voices. "I punch my fist right through the glass," they sing together. "I didn't even feel it, it hurt me so bad. Such fun. Such fun."

The series of recollections of Lasher and other characters in the novel, juxtaposed with the voices of present-day Mayfairs, makes for a fairly disparate set of story lines...
Nick Gordon's Scoop Rosenbaum was slimy yet endearing, and the interplay between the character's "A+ ambition, A- charisma, and C+ loyalty" was certainly entertaining. Decidedly lively, Gordon provided a dynamic contrast well with Efron's and Poreba's brooding characters...
