I dunno, I don't think it looks bad at all - reminds me a bit of how she looked when she played Kim in Scott Pilgrim.

As a Canadian, I will answer both of those questions:

@avclub-446ab634ae06de2b62f2b38bdbe05a58:disqus if anything, I think separating MCHG from its launch does it something of a disservice - so much of Jay-Z's art is linked to his own commercial instincts that I feel without mentioning said deal, context is lost. Jay-Z the Artist and Jay-Z the Businessman have been…

True enough, but I tried to use the Samsung deal to discuss how Jay-Z's business practices play into his artistic vision. The reviewer above seems to use it as general fodder for slamming Jay-Z's naked avarice (which I won't deny, but can make for compelling music).

Yikes, a C-? Really?

Okay, fine, but 'Jeremy' was at least a good song. 'Black Hole Sun', on the other hand…

Nah, I can't get that angry at Gen X. You guys were catapulted into morose apathy and it became your default affectation, so it was no surprise Gen X sold out and fell in step with a thick undercurrent of resentment towards everything and everyone. It's not going to help anything, but it's not going hurt anyone either.

You reviewed this album and you didn't review the new Skillet album: http://spectrum-pulse.blogs…

Hmm… 'Objects In The Rear View Mirror' from Bat Out Of Hell II.

I've seen the eight seasons where Charlie Sheen was still on it and… no, I can't hate Two And A Half Men. There are plenty of bad episodes, to be sure, but the first four seasons hold up better than one might think, and I'll even argue the sixth season was somewhat a return to form after the haphazard fifth season.

I think a lot of people tend to dismiss pop songs because they tend to be churned out by professional songwriters and producers rather than 'artists', and while that might be the case for some, it sure isn't for all of them. I think the For Our Consideration piece might be a bit more refined if it comes down to taking…

Particularly when will.i.am released the exact same fucking song on his last album, and wasn't even trying to be ironic or funny about it: http://www.youtube.com/watc….

I can't say I've loved them, but they've always been reasonably inoffensive to me. This album, on the other hand, was my breaking point, and all the little annoyances that have accumulated against Jimmy Eat World over the past years finally came to the surface: http://spectrum-pulse.blogs…

That song has tonal problems all over the place, but I'd argue the joke is more at the expense of the fratboy douchecanoes. Since The Lonely Island are plainly in support of gay marriage, the punchline of the joke seems to be juxtaposing the spring break activities with gay love, which the stereotypical fratdouche…

The frustrating thing is that often times The Lonely Island were able to make it work, balancing a pretty solid parody of modern pop/rap radio with great hooks and great jokes.

You know, I would agree with this… but I've listened to too much of Chris Brown's music to really buy it. Sure, in his public persona, he might play the bad boy, but if you consider his music, he always attempts to play the smooth ladies man who would never hurt anyone. And while the lyrics of his songs are often…

Yeah, no.

Oh, I know Pete Wentz isn't the singer, and I never said the band itself wasn't talented. Hell, I'd argue Patrick Stump is a pretty great singer who can deliver a lot of emotion to the lyrics.

This album doesn't deserve to have 73 on Metacritic, and this is coming from someone who actually likes Fall Out boy.

You can say that again. After listening through this album a couple of times, my primary emotions aren't so much 'Love everyone and everything!' but 'Oh god, if/when I lose my ability to love, I'm going to become a terrible inhuman wreck of a human being stuck in a neverending cycle of hateful despair and cynical…
