...objectives is to break through musical limits, and although Connected does succeed in weaving together different styles of music (such as pop, funk, acoustic and soul) most of its songs tend to be superficial. While the music may be original, the lyrics and subject matter, are, on the whole, trite...
...real reason for the change? Perhaps Angela Bassett could mop the floor with him, beat him until people that loved him wouldn't know him. But these are ridiculous statements to make about a movie that's based on something as untrue and trite as good triumphing over evil. That's Grimm alright.

...hordes of adoring fans waving lighters. But though it may have been linked with the arena, the power ballad came through just fine on the car radio or on the boom box at the beach. The power ballad relied on strong, clear vocals, on lyrics that were simple and trite but always direct and plainly emotional, on the electric guitar and, most of all, on sheer volume.

With 12 games down and only 10 more league contests to go, a mere seven points separate the top seven teams. With no team breaking away from the pack, parity has become not only the trite watchword of the ECAC, but it has also become a clear reminder to all teams that the 1997-98 league title is still very much up for grabs. That is a concept which is a rarity in a league that has traditionally been dominated by one or two powerhouses...
