...Miles Rind’s Onegin falls far short. In contrast to Lynch, his sound is completely horizontal, making his changes of register barely noticeable. Moreover, his acting skills are unsuited to his role; he switches between only two facial expressions: a blank look of nonchalance and a mean scowl. The role is more complex than Rind represents and the lead vocal part requires considerably more tonal and dynamic variation...
...sheet of glass that floats above an immaculate Zen rock garden?is strewn with the bodies of dismembered yak-uza. A willowy blonde with wild eyes, clad in a blood-smeared yellow tracksuit, brandishes her Samurai sword, preparing to dispatch three more victims. She grits her teeth. The yakuza scowl back.

As Lt. Cmdr. JoAnn Galloway, the passionate but inexperienced attorney who assists Kaffee, Marcie Ulin ’02 comes...
...songs are mainly playful and self-effacing. On “You’re Quiet,” he croons “I need a pickup / And I don’t mean a truck”—delivered with a sardonic scowl, the song was robbed of any glee that appeared on the album. For an artist rebuilding himself, it hardly seems good business to reject special requests from his fans, but fortuitously, Benson’s music manages to overcome his personal aloofness...
