A handful of clever ingredients make it all work. Without getting too technical, you’ll find non-irritating polymers — or film formers — like butylene, ethylene, and dimethicone copolymers, all approved for use around the eyes. They help the gel cling to lashes, provide all-day support for curls, and keep lashes flexible and comfortable, rather than brittle or caked in product.
Robert Redford, one of Hollywood’s most recognized and enduring figures, died Tuesday at his home in the mountains outside Provo, Utah. He was 89. The New York Times confirmed the death, citing his publicist Cindi Berger, who said Redford passed away in his sleep. No cause of death was given.
Redford gained popularity in the late 1960s, breaking through as the Sundance Kid in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969). By the early 1970s, he had become a dependable star who could carry both box office hits and more serious fare. His role in The Sting (1973) earned him an Academy Award nomination for Best Actor.
As the years went on, Redford expanded beyond acting. He directed Ordinary People in 1980, a drama that won four Oscars, including best picture, and earned him the directing award. He later received another directing nomination for Quiz Show (1994).
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid (1969) – Redford’s breakout as Sundance opposite Paul Newman, the role that gave him lasting recognition.

The Sting (1973) – Paired again with Newman, he played a grifter in one of the decade’s biggest hits, earning an Oscar nomination.
The Great Gatsby (1974) – His turn as Jay Gatsby added depth to Fitzgerald’s tragic figure.

Heavy Song of the Week is a feature on Heavy Consequence breaking down the top metal, punk, and hard rock tracks you need to hear every Friday. This week, No. 1 goes to HEALTH’s new single “ORDINARY LOSS.”
HEALTH have described their new album as one of “anger, fear, and catharsis,” and the band’s decision to announce it amidst this week’s news cycle — on September 11th of all days — seems calculated to some degree. Singer Jacob Duzsik pretty much sums it up in his album-announce quote, one of the more eye-opening press release quotes we’ve encountered in some time:
“The future is shit and the phone you are reading this on is making it worse, but please don’t put it down.”
The misanthropy extends to the music itself, as heard on the opening track and lead single “ORDINARY LOSS.” Electro-industrial percussion pounds away through a claustrophobic mix, the only concession to melody being Duzsik’s unmistakable, clean-sung coos. But even those are used to transport some grim phrases (“All that’s left is sadness” … “The dead are blessed with no dreams”). Harsh music for harsher times.

AFI – “Holy Visions”
“Holy Visions” is another fine example of AFI‘s current sonic direction, which is basically full-blown ’80s gothic new-wave worship. If there’s one knock on this track versus the previous single — a HSOTW selection — it’s that AFI get a little too ’80s trope-y here, whereas “Behind the Clock” saw the band exploring an open-ended arrangement that was more distinct in character. Still, this is topshelf stuff if you’re in the market for goth new wave in 2025.
Bad Omens – “Impose”
Bad Omens continue to subvert expectations, ditching metal and metalcore entirely on the R&B-tinged “Impose.” The use of breakbeats and electronic textures results in a melodic cascade that rises and falls in volume. Singer Noah Sebastian follows suit, his emotive vocals remaining steady and unwavering, never quite rising to a scream. The band wear this style well — maybe too well, at least for the contingency of fans who prefer when Bad Omens keep it more metalcore.
Coheed and Cambria – “Key Entity Extraction VII: Yuko the Trivial”
If you don’t keep up with Coheed and Cambria‘s ongoing world-building concept albums — the band has its own saga of sci-fi lore at this point — approaching a song titled “Key Entity Extraction VII: Yuko the Trivial” might seem like jumping into the proverbial deep end. Thankfully, you don’t need to know much about the band’s “entities” or storylines to enjoy their latest single. This four-minute pop rocker is as accessible as anything in the band’s canon, and even if the lyrics are informed by a narrative, they’re universal enough to stand on their own.
