...released in April, seduces the listener with labyrinthine tracks, sounding like pared-down, refined versions of the trip-hop trio’s old songs. (Metallica also scaled down their sound for “Death Magnetic.”) Guns N’ Roses has taken the opposite tack as Portishead and Metallica, slapping a sanctimonious album cover on 14 floppy messes and billing the resulting album as a progressive heir to their former greatness.

As students, our natural reaction is likely to include telling the administration to preserve undergraduate life at all costs. But we do not—and we students should not—take this tack.
