...creative fire has simply dimmed. While their debut’s material was written on the move around first gigs in New York, for the new album, the trio relocated to an L.A. studio for two intense, stressful months of studio-writing. The process was filled with pressure and self-doubt, as the band has revealed in interviews— feelings that are evident in the new record’s sound...

After Kim Il Sung died in 1994, his son and apparent successor Kim Jong Il displayed the same steely confidence in his own political correctness. So last September, when a North Korean submarine ran aground on the South's coast and 26 armed infiltrators dashed ashore, Pyongyang erupted with...
