...opens the album with heavy synth overlays which compete with a clear melody and upbeat harmonies. The song’s defining musical conflict—between rock and indie pop—is exemplary of a trend that pervades the album.

Vonn is the anti-Bode, happily married to her skier husband and coach, dedicated to not disappointing all the mainstream sports fans who give skiing a quadrennial peek. In a strange twist, if Vonn drops out or drastically cuts back her schedule, the Olympic audience may have to turn to Miller for its violin-tinged tale of redemption. He came out of retirement this season to give the Olympics another shot and prove to the world he's not that...

...masks perform a hilarious dance that starts off as militaristic marching and, in a matter of minutes, unravels into a raunchy strip tease. Vibrant, elaborate costumes enhance the outrageous acting and compliment the choreography, especially in the show’s final kickline. This kickline brings yet another unexpected twist to the motley crew of crazy characters who inhabit this unconventional town, ultimately revealing a side of the 1950s that, once familiar, is now transported into a new dimension...
