...echoes such progressive metal acts as Incubus, Tool, and the Deftones in guitar sounds, rhythms, and dynamic contrasts. The album’s stand-out track “Still Life in Dexedrine,” serves up a chilly nu-metal acoustic-rock vibe, and a pleasant circular vocal melody.

Try the aforementioned, temple-like branch on Sukhumvit Road. It's the chain's largest and is open 24 hours a day. The fight against the world's coffee superpower takes place around the clock, after...
