...should back The Weather Channel’s 4:08 weather update from Hell. The song-writing has none of the same vigor that made the band’s pre-millennial work so bracing. The ballad-esque “Street of Dreams” begins like the lush “November Rain” from “Use Your Illusion I”—a few lines of piano and quiet guitar—but winds up mired in a boring melody and terrible lyrics: “What I thought was beautiful / Don?...

The notion that the planet is on the brink of catastrophe from this amorphous force is a hard sell in New Zealand, where water is abundant and lush pastoral land rolls on forever. Clark wants New Zealand, which produces 0.4% of the world's carbon emissions, to set the pace on emissions cuts, just as it was the first country to grant women the vote (1893) and the first Western-allied nation to legislate itself into nuclear-free status (1987).
