Their presence alone caused the twins to crumble under a tantrum of jealousy and "hangman" each other. Mulder and Scully did very little here except show up and bare witness to deaths. And as fun as the case was - sort of a Final Destination plot (oh yes, there were random swords) where, unfortunately, the named victims couldn't weasel their way out of certain doom - this was the show almost tenderly calling out the faint futility of these types of cases, which almost always seem to implode on themselves. ![]() The scene worked because Anderson and Duchovny were very present and seemed to realize, themselves, that the end was near. So much of what made The X-Files wonderful is impossible to attain in 2018. They'll probably get fired, or killed, and there were things she wanted to do that she never had the chance to - have another child, perhaps be with Mulder in a more stable/loving way, etc. "Plus One" wasn't tethered to any of the "My Struggle" chapters except perhaps through Scully's realization that things are coming to a close. The two gracefully aging agents were able to, essentially, put a pause on one of their routine-ish investigations - with Mulder even acknowledging that they'd faced down crazier phenomena in the past - and connect in a meaningful way ("Put a dimmer on that afterglow."). It also encapsulates the stubbornly independent, kinda morose, world-against-me lyrical bent White traffics in more and more: "Ask yourself if you are happy/ Then you cease to be/ That's a tip from you to me … Now I know for sure/ I don't need nobody's help now anymore.13 Images If one were looking for signs that Season 11 is The X-Files' final hurrah (also taking into account Gillian Anderson's desire to be done with the series), this moment was a notable dog ear. Excellent opener "A Tip from You to Me" is a full-on embrace of '70s classic rock and an intriguing mix of Zeppelin, the Band and Leon Russell-style piano. "I've Got You Surrounded (With My Love)" starts off swampy before an electric guitar slices through the thick humidity and the whole thing rolls into a Chicago-style blues-funk strut. "All Along the Way" is medieval folky-delicate and mysterious but not twee in fact, the bridge majorly flexes muscle. (The title, White has said, draws biblical inspiration from the story of the prophet Elijah going to heaven without dying.) It's also the "quieter" record, but hardly quiet. The "Going to California" and "Over the Hills and Far Away" vibes are strong, and it's kind of wild how much White sounds like Robert Plant on these songs. ![]() If Fear was his Black Sabbath record, Entering Heaven Alive is his low-key, often acoustic Led Zeppelin era. Released three months after Fear of the Dawn, Jack White's latest isn't so much a sequel as a completely different beast. ![]() Лейбл: (C) 2022 Third Man Records (P) 2022 Third Man Records Жанр: Rock, Blues Rock, Garage Rock, Alternative Rock And since small children were a large part of Kiss' audience by 1979 (due to merchandising and the God-awful TV movie Kiss Meets the Phantom), the band began backing away from heavy metal and embracing pop. In latter-day interviews, the band admitted that they started to listen to outsiders about what direction the music should go around the time of Dynasty. And even though it was a platinum-plus smash, Dynasty marked the beginning of Kiss' unfocused period, which would ultimately end in a nosedive of the band's popularity, as well as Criss and Ace Frehley leaving the band by 1982.
