Four Reviews, Four Topics

TV Review
http://time.com/3457510/bobs-burgers-die-hard-laugh-harder/
Bob's Burgers is mentioned in this due to the Family Guy/Simpsons crossover, where they have a scene where Bob is in an airplane with Homer and Peter, where Peter Griffin states "We gotta carry him because he can't fly on his own." The critic disagrees, and I have to agree with the idea that Bob's Burgers is able to coast on its own, not needing support form other animated series; even after being under the radar most of their air time. Bob's Burgers is considered to be the critics favorite show, almost a reward that he saves, and I can't disagree with that. How it gives "inspired weirdness and expressive voice casting," and how the characters are fully realized giving some great comedy since it was aired. And I believe that that's the truth. They talk about the season premiere "Work Hard or Die Trying, Girl" which he says will not disappoint. He states how you can just jump into the episode no problem, with ease. They speak about how this could become the best show on Fox, if not already. I believe that in time it will, but not yet. Give it a season or so, then it'll be for sure.

Restaurant Review
http://www.desmoinesregister.com/story/entertainment/dining/datebook-diner/2014/10/15/fongs-pizza-datebook-diner-review/17306941/
Fong's Pizza is stated to open a second location in spring. the critics tells the history of how the place was opened by 10 entrepreneurs, how they kept the chinese decor that was left over. he talks about how the place feels, how it's "retro and eclectic" because of the design of the place because of their posters and tiki mugs. He speaks about how the menu gives a brand of culinary fusion, which I have to agree that it does after seeing the menu. He also talks about the different drinks, how they range in price from $6 to $9 with different varying names. He likes to talk about their specialties that they offer ranging from a crab rangoon pizza, to something called a bacon popper pizza. He tries to stay humble, stating "I'm not saying Fong's has the best pizzas in town - I found the crusts so-so and on some pizzas, the toppings competed rather than harmonized. But you know? Who cares?" He brings it back though calling it a "funky adventure in the heart of Des Moines" and how it's great for just hanging with friends and relaxing. I have to say that I agree with everything he says, word for word.

Album Review
They start it off with the history of Flood, and how it had changed college rock. They talk about those who had created the album. And how they've known each other for so long, and past records as well. He states that "Flood saw the duo let loose like a riptide." He begins talking how the song  "Theme from Flood" "plays like the soundtrack to a Technicolor movie" which I can't disagree with. The song gets followed by "Birdhouse in your Soul" which is has a pogo-worthy bass line, which is pretty true. He speaks about the rest of the songs that have retro-pop homages that "split the difference between the duo's contemporary heroes and the 1950s aesthetic that imprinted on them as they absorbed TV reruns in their youth." This is pretty true, although the 1950s aesthetic could be argued. He also speaks about nine musicians that were featured on 12 of the 19 songs in total. They also speak about different songs specifically, and how the artists feel about them on their own. i have to say that i agree with most of the opinions that were given here, there isn't much to disagree with here. Nothing is really controversial.
