Review K__ Pinkerton Weezer Geffen Records Grade:B For all the new groups who cashed in on the alternative craze of 1993, this year seems to follow up their smash albums. First it was Beck, who people origi nally wrote off as an alternative poser. This year he answered with the as toundingly good album “Odelay.” Weezer, another act that got criti cism for jumping on the bandwagon, now steps up to bat with “Pinkerton,” its follow-up to its self-titled album. Weezer’s deft sense of humor still is apparent in most of the songs on “Pinkerton.” This is especially evident in “Pink Triangle,” a hilarious song about a man who yearns for a woman who is a lesbian. Other self-defeating songs like “Tired of Sex” also stand out, Weezer’s album clocks in just shy of 40 minutes. The band is tight enough to pound out great three minute ditties with catchy-as-hell gui tar and drum riffs. However, the band departs from the sing-along anthems of its last al bum. None of the songs grabs you like “Buddy Holly” or “My Name is Jonas” did on the last album. Yet the lyrics are the main reason to listen to “Pinkerton.” Vocalist and guitarist Rivers Cuomo wrote all 10 songs of “Pinkerton” in the exact or der that they appear. What “Pinkerton” lacks is a pro ducer. Ex-Cars whiz Ric Ocasek pro duced Weezer’s last album and el evated the band from potential one hit-wonder status. The band could have used his help with “Pinkerton.” Instead, the band opted to produce the album itself, and this shows. (At least Beck hired the Dust Brothers to pro duce the sonic potpourri of “Odelay”). Without a producer, “Pinkerton” is a good, but ultimately forgettable, re lease. — Sean McCarthy ACES HIGH Aces High Grade: B> If you’re looking for a local coun try band with a laid-back style, search no longer. Aces High is a local country band with UNL roots. Besides recently per forming at Prairie Stomp, five musi cians in the six-piece band are UNL students, professors or alumni. Not only is the promotional tape a gauge of how a concert would sound, it’s passable music. George Strait’s songs are prima rily featured. Vocalist Mark Keaton has varying degrees of success. His low ranges are almost Strait-like. A couple of tracks also have some excellent vocal harmony. The instrumentalists have definite talent. Fiddler Patrick Nowak shines on a Strait classic, “Amarillo by Morn ing” and “Orange Blossom Special.” Jerry Maranville shows his ability on steel guitar throughout the album. A few tunes on the album are origi nal and the rest are songs any self respecting country fen knows. It would be great to see more original songs, though. . Ibis blue-collar band at least has the aura of real-life cowboys at home on the range—and that’s all that re ally counts. Tapes can be ordered from Aces High, c/o Mark Keaton, RR 1 Box 146B, Denton, Neb., 68339. — Emily Wray Dance Contest Every Tuesday 9:00 pm 1S23 ‘O’ Street • HO (OVER Wheel'll & Deal'll Bike Shop coupon - i Free U-lock with new bike purchase.
