An ancient proverb states simply: children should be seen and not heard. For youth, Oscar Wilde pointed out, is wasted on the young. But this was a long time ago. Professional management teams hadn't yet figured out to be a "Big Brother" to eternally cute youngsters. George Orwell would be amused to see where his paranoia has brought us: to an evergreen field of teen pop shepherded by industry vets who "Give the People What They Want" with unfettered democracy in their hearts. Such glorious righteousness! Such unmitigated glee!
Another Earthquake! pumps out aerobic beats, good-time feelings and tons of hooks designed to stick in your head long after the CD has left its player. This party is ON! Like a steady diet of candy and soda, diabetic coma shock may kick in. When he slows downs for "Do You Remember?" (that's "Husker Du" in Swedish!) and asks "Do you remember when I walked on water for you?" you might be a little bummed to think you missed that trick. But I think boy wonder is just taking liberties. So George Orwell, rest assured.
