...Aquarium"--a feat echoing Pink's conclusion with the epic but lifeless "Yes Anastasia"--the final stages of this album remain fascinating. "Hotel" (the song, not the album itself) changes quite suddenly into a hypnotic pseudo-techno piece, shifting the mood of the song from painfully emotional to pure recklessness. Although "Playboy Mommy" may resemble a lazy folk songs more than a pop number, it fits nicely as the next-to-last song on the album, winding down contentedly from Amos'veritable smorgasbord of musical moods...
...Pure reggae tunes are absolutely new to Rancid,although reggae influences were prominent onWolves and weave their way a bit morethrough the harmonies and crossover song thatpepper Life Won't Wait. Most prominent inconveying the genre are the title song, "WrongfulSuspicion" and "Coppers." Jamaican reggae starBuju Banton guests on these tracks, strengtheningthe new Rancid voice with an authentic tongue. OnLife Won't Wait, a good chunk of the vocalsare provided by Banton, although Armstronguniquely offers his gravelly, unadorned slur tothe mix.

...hardly great. About a B-minus, thought his first coach, Kevin Loughery. He thereupon worked harder at practice than any teammate to improve it (in part, to prevent defenses from dropping off and cheating on him), and in time he became one of the tiny handful of great pure shooters in the league. Indeed, he was arguably the best jump shooter in the league because, while there were other wondrous pure shooters out there who might be more dazzling with an open shot in the open court, no one was better at creating and getting his own shot in difficult...
...result was an almost perfect basketball player, a man with skills that few other players of comparable physical ability could match and that eventually would set him apart at the championship level. For that was when the professional game changed from a somewhat casual full-court game that showcased pure natural ability to a fierce, defensively driven half-court game in which pure athletic ability was of a more limited advantage and the discipline and completeness of a player's skills were equally important. As such, Jordan is a reminder to us of something desperately undervalued in contemporary America...
