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.

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.
