...that stands out awkwardly for its dowdiness in a brilliantly written album. But “Guarantees” is buried mid-album, and by the time you get to the concluding “In Her Music Box,” you forget all about it. This last track discusses the world from a little girl’s point of view while sampling a music box. Atmosphere knows what they’re best at, and by the end of the album, they want to make sure that we know, too: unusual social messages, music that fits...
...things to come, but any fan devoted enough (and there are many) to buy the album instead of—or in addition to—the season one DVD won’t walk away disappointed.

He was a little wacky the way he went off on stories, but he really wasn't any wackier than so many other people his age - and those people were still living at home and driving to the supermarket...
...just started running every day,” Moccia said. “I didn’t really have huge inspirations or anything, I just found it was something I could keep up even after school started.” Levenson ran cross-country for two years and track for a year in high school. “I didn’t like it. It was boring,” Levenson said. “You just run around and around on a track, you feel like a hamster on a wheel.” To train...
