...drugs such as captopril, a hypertension remedy, and naproxen, an antiarthritis drug, has hurt margins. At the factory, the company is facing an escalating legal and regulatory campaign waged by brand-name pharmaceutical companies such as American Home Products and Merck to extend patents on their drugs or prevent others from manufacturing them. "Generics are caught in a squeeze, which is why only half the 24 publicly traded companies in the industry are profitable," says Jerry Treppel, an analyst at Warburg Dillon Read. Mylan is in the potent half, having earned $100 million on revenues of $550 million last year...

The rhymes are often forced, thin and cheesy, but that does not prevent the vocals from bouncing along euphoniously. The album is catchy, interesting, and original, although far from revolutionary. Hey! Album is fueled almost exclusively by Walker, whose guitars and vocals are upfront and in-your-face on almost every track. Drummer Slug does little more than keep time for Walker, and Fincher...
