...offer older consumers cheaper rates for home insurance. Back then, home insurance in Britain was sold on a one-price-fits-all basis. Saga correctly reckoned that older homeowners were less risky to insure, so their premiums could be lower. Saga applied the same formula to sell low-cost auto insurance and then broadened to offer a full range of insurance products. Of course, other insurers use age as a pricing criterion, so Saga also stresses not only value but customer service...

...vocalists Patrick Stump and Pete Wentz wield the same saccharine croon. Granted, the disc is stuffed with studio effects; I’d be shocked to learn that the drummer can keep time without a click track or that the vocalists can keep pitch without three producers and Auto-Tune. Yet this is the band’s formula, and they follow it well throughout the record. In many ways, the group recalls Huey Lewis and The News circa 1983; rockers uncomfortable with innovation, they stick to tried-and-true trends. They trot out the cut-time bridge, the major...
