...uncomfortable pleasures of working. This sitcom introduces us to the uncomfortable pleasures of not working. Each episode, set in an office break room, follows the meandering conversations of office malcontents as they puff cancer sticks, stave off boredom and consider such weighty matters as how the theme song to Little House on the Prairie went. It's a worthwhile way to kill half an hour--without the risk of secondhand smoke...
Springsteen has never made a bad record, and Devils has enough strong moments to avoid being his first. Long Time Comin', Maria's Bed and Leah edge toward brightness; Matamoros Banks works back from death to become a wonderfully wounded love song, and the title track gets at the moral drama of war without being overwrought. With the E Street Band on hiatus, Springsteen plays a majority of the instruments himself, and producer Brendan O'Brien highlights the intimacy by granting most songs a verse of acoustic guitar before carefully adding keyboards, fiddle, feathery drums and occasional background vocals...
...love TLC, but this song is like hearing a foreign-exchange student with a poor grasp of English talk dirty to you. “Don’t go too fast / Don’t go too slow / You’ve got to let your body flow”…oh so that’s how intercourse works. Thanks for the tip, T-Boz. Oh my god, is that a guitar solo? This is worse than being picked last for kickball...
...This song is a black hole from which nothing can escape, not even light. “I wanna freak in the morning, freak in the evening,” is Ms. Howard’s thesis, which she supplements with such brilliant supporting arguments as “we can woof woof any time of day / it’s all good for me.” The unmemorable beat rolls along, all metallic sheen and Clinton-era ignorance. You forgot this song for a reason...
...worst song of the bunch. And I’d forgotten that the lyrics are all about how great South Central L.A. is and how “tough” he is. But dude sounds like he has a French accent. That’s just…not gangsta. You, the reader, need to recommune with this song and figure out for yourself just how you’re going to come to terms with your actions during the Reign of Montell Jordan. Soulless R&B is the worst kind of anything...
