Track 9: There Was a Time Again, an artsy intro. Then a ballad that kind of swings, if heavy metal ballad can swing. Oddly the verse is catchier than the chorus. And the guitarwork is kind of pretty and bluesy and mournful, as if it were hurt by a woman it trusted but then went and did it wrong. These guitars are so hurt the song lasts almost seven minutes. Grade: A- Overall grade...

...aging members of the Wu-Tang Clan and the hyperbolic stage personas of their earlier careers, the group’s visual presentation has shifted toward the timeless appeal of guns, drugs, and money. The video opens with a geisha twirling onstage under fake snowfall, playing a slow acoustic intro while singing new words to Harrison’s melody. She spins her fan, and the video cuts to a spinning tape recorder. Raekwon gets the first verse as stacks of cash change hands in an anonymous smoke-filled backroom. Everyone knows the Wu-Tang Clan loves martial arts...

...Ashanti is the video’s unquestionable star. The video starts disconcertingly, with a 911 emergency call in which a breathy voice asks the operator, “Please, send someone.” But Ashanti’s gasping sounds more like seduction than desperation. After the intro, the camera cuts to a mix of shots featuring Ashanti in different rooms and outfits; home videos of her with her man, photos of said man being unfaithful, and a murder scene all flash before the viewer’s eyes. This theme is another deviation from the typical Ashanti...

...torture. Government malfeasance. Crappy health care. Not to mention one young star who shouldn't be dead, Heath Ledger, and one who might've been, Owen Wilson. (He showed up to read an intro.) Surrounded by these dour subjects, Stewart did his best to keep the tone light. He alluded to the town's relief over the end of the writers' strike by saying, "Welcome to the make-up sex." He confided to the viewing audience what the crowd at the Kodak Theatre does during commercial breaks: "Mostly we sit here making catty remarks about how you look at home...
