The Twenty-Six Lane Travesty

Owen Barr, Writer and photographer • January 8, 2025
    By the early 2000s, the Katy Freeway (Beltway-8), a portion of I-10 connecting downtown Houston to the growing suburbs, had a reputation for being one of the most congested roadways in the city, reportedly wasting 25 million hours of commuter time. Four years and a few billion dollars later, the freeway was widened to 26 lanes to meet demand. Beltway-8 has gained worldwide recognition for being one of the widest freeways in the world, its notoriety sparking years of ongoing debate.

An Extension of the Original Chaotic Brilliance: A Holistic Review of “Brat and it’s the same but there’s three more songs so it’s not”

Thomas Treviño, Photo Editor • November 5, 2024
Charli plays the character of a reckless, law-breaking pyromaniac who is just trying to have a little fun. She sings of pretty cars, hating everyone around her and finding her best lighting in the reds and blues of police sirens.
That Perfect Summer Love in Album Form: A Holistic Review of “14 minutes”

That Perfect Summer Love in Album Form: A Holistic Review of “14 minutes”

Thomas Treviño, Photo Editor • August 12, 2024
Dominic Fike’s “14 minutes” is an indie summer soundtrack essential, with movie-worthy highs and sounds that are guaranteed to stick with each and every listener. Spanning a perfectly concise 14 minutes across eight tracks, this album's only flaw is that it leaves you craving more.

Righting The Wrongs: A Holistic Review of “COWBOY CARTER”

Thomas Treviño, Photo Editor • May 20, 2024
It’d be criminal to deny Beyoncé’s ability to send a listener through an unbuckled emotional rollercoaster, having to hold themselves down through the highest of highs, lowest of lows, and flips upside down, all of which are upheld by Beyonce’s natural ability to craft an art piece, and use her voice as a paint brush.

Grace Under Fire: A track-by-track Review of “Eternal Sunshine”

Thomas Treviño, Photo Editor • May 20, 2024
The album is a well-crafted masterful diary entry that she’s shared with the world. Grande shows her understanding of the ebb and flow of her love-life with freeing and contempt reflections of her volatile and passionate relationships, alongside an excitement for what the future may hold.
