....and speaking of, and I quote, "step[ping] out of the Audities universe 
and into the real world,"  (hey, Josh ;-)

no less than the NY Times' Neil Strauss, in his "Skipping the Niches, Going 
for Pop" Critic's Choice column yesterday, referenced "Utopia Parkway" as, and 
again I quote, "an album so poppy that the band was dropped from Atlantic 
Records afterward."

A bit too much frickin' perspective, as S. Tap would say?
