Fortunately, the album’s intelligent track sequencing trivializes this would-be flaw. The record opens with the aforementioned “Farewell, Mona Lisa,” which clearly demonstrates the multiple styles TDEP have at their command. As the album continues, shorter, noisier songs are interspersed between their more melodic counterparts. For instance, after two particularly aggressive numbers, the band lines up the album’s centerpiece, a mathcore-lounge tune called “Widower.” The song begins with some jazzy piano playing that grows muddier as Puciato’s vocals...
...rburgring (a new, shorter version has been used since the 1980s) is not on this year's F1 schedule. Yas Island in Abu Dhabi is. The gulf state has spent $1 billion on the new track and $39 billion on the outlandish infrastructure surrounding it, including hotels, golf courses and Ferrari World, billed as the world's largest indoor theme park. Here you can experience the g-forces of an F1 racer firsthand on a roller coaster that reaches speeds of 124m.p.h. (200 km/h). The roller coaster may be more thrilling than the race itself. New tracks like Yas Island...

...Super G, which is a shorter version of the downhill with more gates and less speed, Miller once again made good on his unmatched versatility. He notched his second medal of the Games, and gave notice that the foul-mouthed, night-clubbing iconoclast I had profiled on the cover of TIME four years ago had given way to someone more, well, let's not say mature, since we are talking about an incredibly free spirit, but a guy who came to ski rather than take on the world. "For me the legacy is the way you perform; the performance...
