the darkly pop orchestral arrangement of "House of Broken Dreams": This song about Love's foundations cracking gives Segal's angry, depressed lover with his back to the wall the proper sheen and snap, which propels this opus with well-layered melodic subtleties that bring the message almost too close to home.
