...rare gimmick that can lead to innovation. On T-Pain's latest album, Thr33 Ringz, tracks like "Karaoke" and "Chopped N Skrewed" literally bounce between notes, giving the record a kids-on--Pop Rocks exuberance. Using the same program, West's 808s & Heartbreak is the complete opposite--angsty, slow and brutally introspective.

The chilled out ending of“Lucid Dreams” slows the album down; it never recovers. The next song, “Dream Again,” is even slower, melodically unremarkable...
...Stock has not been the only professor to acknowledge the prudence of meeting a slow economy with increased hiring efforts. At a meeting of the Faculty in mid-November, Xiao-Li Meng, the chair of the statistics department, was greeted with thunderous applause after standing to argue that Harvard could take advantage of the financial struggles of other universities by increasing its searches...
