...Keep It Hid” seems to be aiming for a more organic, varied sound, “The Prowl,” the hardest-hitting song on the album, feels neater and more contained than any similarly heavy Keys track. Auerbach mans the drums on this song??as on the rest of the album—and here especially one can feel the difference between his drumming and Black Keys drummer Patrick Carney’s. Where Carney’s messy pounding would propel the songs forward, Auerbach’s careful, more articulated syncopation gives...

This never results in any drop-off in musical quality. Hoobastank have copped in interviews to their middle-of-the-road reputation, and this song??s largely more (MoR) of the same.

...cap—to sing about his unrequited love for Phyllis. This scene transitions into the cheerful “If You Go In,” performed by two other Lords (Benjamin J. Nelson ’11 and Jonathan P. Finn-Gamino ’12). The song??s comical lyrics and dancing easily make it one of the most enjoyable, and the encores that follow are increasingly humorous, as the actors blend in different styles of dance, including...
