...Half Of My Heart,” a duet with country-pop it-girl Taylor Swift, surround guitar melodies with light atmospherics and layered vocals, while “Friends, Lovers Or Nothing,” “Perfectly Lonely,” and the admittedly out-of-place cover of Robert Johnson-by-way-of-Cream’s “Crossroads” indulge Mayer’s recent blues-rock tendencies with cascades of electric guitar and hard piano chords...
...features vocals by both Grohl and Homme, although this serves only to reiterate the superiority of the latter. Grohl’s over-enthusiastic and humorless singing pales by comparison with Homme’s sophisticated sneer, and fortunately most of the album sees Grohl consigned to his natural place, behind the drum kit, providing successfully muscular, if surpisingly understated, beats.

Hence the move to initiate new sanctions, which won't realistically be put in place until early next year. But despite White House spin to the contrary, there's little reason to believe Russia and China are more likely to back meaningful sanctions in the wake of Obama's recent meetings with Presidents Dmitry Medvedev and Hu Jintao than they were before those talks. While Medvedev urges Iran to be more cooperative and warns that further sanctions may be "inevitable" if it isn't, that's the perspective of a mediator. Prime Minister Vladimir Putin, still presumed...
