...lyrically, it’s something completely new. Objectively, it’s amazing. The singles get wisely buried in the mix. Cowbell-heavy “Us v. Them” ends up near the album’s end; but while the sequencing shows restraint, the song’s bombastic multi-tracked vocal harmonies suggest that Murphy may even be taking on Freddie Mercury. “North American Scum” is this outing’s silly bootyshaker, the equivalent of yesteryear’s “Daft Punk Is Playing at my House?...

Of course, the college need not be complicit in the purported crimes of its students. Regardless of pressure from the RIAA, it is not the task...
...unable to convince the Security Council powers to support an embargo on conventional weapons sales to Iran, although it calls for "vigilance and restraint" on the sale of heavy weapons. Russia and China have continued to supply the Iranian military despite U.S. objections, most recently in January when Moscow completed delivery of 29 TOR-M1 anti-aircraft rocket systems to Tehran at a cost of some $700 million...
