...Love”—reveals the album’s deepest flaw. Despite an improvement in dynamic songwriting, the overly processed instruments and production which, in context of the stronger songwriting, is overbearing, keep the song from reaching the emotional peaks for which it aspires.

Alain Ghonda - a 38-year-old, Silver Spring, Md., real estate consultant, who was sitting in seat 18H - immediately stood up, in defiance of the seat-belt sign, and looked to his left. Ghonda remained upright another minute and soon saw thick, dark gray smoke coming from the man in seat 19A. He pointed across the cabin and yelled, "Fire!" As he did, flames began to shoot from Abdulmutallab's lap. (See pictures of the life of privilege of Umar Farouk Abdulmutallab...
