...This fear would render confirmation of itself. Kjaerstad deftly creates anecdotes out of the dark places of Jonas’ past, showing their significance as catalysts for his desire to be a conqueror—anecdotes that explore this fear of becoming ‘ordinary’ manifest themselves as catalysts for the neurosis that would culminate in his murderous deed.This sort of formula, however, can stray toward the annoying when Kjaerstad resorts to rhetorical questions: “What makes a conqueror?

In “Not Fair,” Allen sings frankly about how her boyfriend’s sexual shortcomings eclipse all his other virtues, and in “Fuck You” she bravely denounces some acquaintances for being...
