■ rjF| .rjj The Goo Goo Dolls “Dizzy Up The Girl” Warner Brothers Grade: B “Don’t fix what isn’t broken” had to be the slo gan for the Goo Goo Dolls when they recorded “Dizzy Up The Girl.” To throw out a better cliche: Itls the same ol’ song and dance. Pop-rock ballad band the Goo Goo Dolls released a couple of albums, toured with the Replacements and had a minor hit on MTV (“We Are The Normal”) before they ever hit it big back in 1995. Enter “Name.” The second single from “A Boy Named Goo” ruled the airwaves for months. It was an acoustic-flavored soft ballad in a time of roaring gui tars and screaming vocalists. What was unique about the success of “Name” was that the majority of its album (and, in fact, most of the Dolls’ music in general) took a much harder edge. For a while, the Dolls vanished from the lime light, swallowed by a dizzying schedule of tours. Enter “Iris.” Again, another ballad brought the Dolls to the foreground, this time on the “City of Angels” soundtrack. It seemed that the only Dolls songs that were going to grab the attention of the masses were ballads. Enter “Dizzy Up the Girl.” On this album, electric guitars appear with as much scarcity as acoustic guitars did on their pre vious work. “Ballad City” would have been a bet ter name for this recording. While none of the songs stink, many merely blend together into a cohesive gel that ends up as only bland This isn’t to badmouth the songs, per se, but to point out that ballad after ballad drag an album down like lead shoes. Add to this the fact that out of the two vocalists in the band, only guitarist Johnny Rzeznik’s voice is suited for ballads. Bassist Robby Takac should stick to screaming. Rzeznik knows how to write singles, though, and that’s the way to listen to “Dizzy Up The Girl” - one or two songs at a time. Tracks like “Bullet Proof” “All Eyes On Me” and “Dizzy” are fan tastic songs by themselves, but on one album, it starts to feel like deja vu all over again. In the end it sounds like we only got half of an entire Goo Goo Dolls afixan and all the great electric rock songs are sitting in a studio somewhere. Still, the songs on “Dizzy Up The Girl” make great night music and, for people who only liked the song “Name” off of “A Boy Named Goo,” this album is a great bunch of material. Also, it saves buying the mediocre “City of Angels” soundtrack, because “Iris” is repeated here. The rest of us can listen and enjoy half of die Goo Goo Dolls sound that we should have gotten. -CliffHicks Horror film star to appear in Lincoln Michael Myers has plans to make Lincoln residents his next victims: of pub licity. Chris Duran, who played the psycho pathic anniversary stalker in “Halloween H20,” appears today at the opening of Lincoln’s newest haunted house, Tomb of Darkness, 126 N. 16th St. The actor will be signing autographs and t answering questions from 4 to 7 p.m. to help promote the technologically savvy haunted house. \ Tomb of Darkness is co-owned and operated by University ofNebraska-Lincoln junior Jason Egan, who says he bmlfhis first haunted house in his backyard as a kid. This promises to be a little more thrilling, however. Animatronics and flying corpses axe just a few of die goodies for freak fans. Duran doesn’t have much experience as a serial killer, (or so he claims) but he’s look ing forward to meeting fans of “Halloween H20,” his fust major role in a feature Him. Scott Caan, son of actor, arrested in Los Angeles LOS ANGELES (AP) - Scott Caan, the son of actor James Caan, was arrested early Wednesday for investigation of assault after a bar fight in which another man was knocked out cold. . - Caan, 23, was accused of punching fellow bar patron James Alleyna several times, “ren dering him unconscious” in a bar in West Hollywood, said Los Angeles County Sheriff’s Deputy Angie Prewett. The fight allegedly happened after Alleyna danced with Caan’s date, Prewett said. Alleyna, 28, was treated at the scene by paramedics, she said. Caan was being held in lieu of $20,000 bail. James Caan was nominated for an Oscar for his role as hotheaded mobster Sonny Corleone in “The Godfather.” His movie cred its also include “Alien Nation,” “Misery,” “Rollerball” and this year’s “Poodle Springs.” The elder Caan was arrested in 1994 after a musician accused him of pulling a gun during an argument. Later that year, he entered a drug rehabilitation center, his spokesman wouldn’t say what kind of drug was involved. 402-472-2588 402-472-1761 (FAX) $5-00/15 words dn@unl.edu 4 $3.50/15 words (students) $0.15 each additional word 34 Nebraska Union $0.75 billing charge P.O.
