...Justice Party's more socially oriented approach. Before the vote, the now President-elect told Time he opposed privatization of industries he considered vital to "Polish national security," especially in the energy sector, and that he favored a more "sensitive" economic policy. Translation: the brothers are expecting to slow the privatization of industries, reduce taxes for low-income families, and increase pensions and family-welfare payments by making cuts in the bureaucracy. An attempt to form a coalition between the Kaczynskis' Law and Justice Party and Civic Platform failed last week, and the Law and Justice Party was expected...
...album were to break through to the other side of popularity, this is it. “Punks In the Beerlight” is a rollicking honky-tonk explosion, “I’m Getting Back Into Getting Into You” is a slow-burning love ballad, and album closer “There Is a Place” bridges the gulf between country and gospel with electrifying results.

In fact, the only real Wu-Tang reference point is 1997’s “Forever,” the bloated, lifeless double album that marked the start of their slow demise. The compilation’s beats, mostly produced by Wu satellite producer Bronze Nazareth, suck. They all chug along painfully at the same plodding tempo, with the same drums, the same string samples, the same disembodied voice. They are neither funky, nor ominous, nor reminiscent of anything...
