...apparently Rolling Stone feels otherwise, and it’s for shame. The dance-punk movement is in full swing, proving that the kids not only can but also want to dance—and the teeming anticipation for full-lengths from !!! and Liars further demonstrates the excitement and buzz for the new school. But none of the bands in this coterie have the range and accessibility that the Rapture flaunt so brilliantly to the masses on Echoes.

...have to either have an account already or give Amazon a credit-card number for "security purposes," which might keep a lot of kids and teens away.

...taboos and involve the audience to the extent that the plays did. Why should this initiative be criticized in such a condescending tone? Miss India USA was one of the members of the audience on Oct. 31 and she expressed the importance of such initiatives very beautifully. What a shame the reviewer was not present that evening.
