...through five minutes of "These Are My Thoughts," the actual title of one of the new songs. Stronger efforts include the versions of "Ironic" (with a completely reinvented melody), the orchestral "You Oughta Know," the fantastic "Uninvited" and the simply beautiful "No Pressure Over Cappucino," which has the fascinating chorus, "And you're like a '90s Jesus...

We are trapped in the middle-school mentality that only...
Marvin pointed to the rendering, as well as a painting of the Glee Club's first conductor, Archibald T. Davison, and a statue given to the Glee Club on its European tour in 1921, a trip which made the Glee Club the first American college chorus to complete an international tour, as symbols of the college's musical history...
