There`s a demented pop fanaticism to Weezer you gotta love. Weezer`s debut, produced by former Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, combines Pixies roller-coaster guitar rides with a helping of Beatle-esque moptop harmonies. Ocasek`s production and Weezer`s strong material will bring a glimmer of recognition to the eyes of anyone who remembers the Cars` melodic pop hooks.
Weezer`s songs are groovy garage sales you wish happened every weekend. Songs like "The World Turned And Left Me Here" and "Surf Wax America" betray the heart of a kid who would rather skateboard to work every day than face up to the responsibility of buying a car.
Rivers Cuomo`s wit and songwriting chops are evident in "In The Garage," where he sums up his generation`s fascination with kitsch pop culture. Cuomo readily makes fun of Kiss posters and his own "stupid words" and "stupid songs," but later, in "Say It Ain`t So," his self-mocking seems more like self-protection. After a decade of divorced parents, Cuomo comes to terms with a childhood he didn`t want to give up. "Dear Daddy I write you in spite of years of silence," he admits, begging him to "Say It Ain`t So."
WEEZER breathes life into the bloated corpse of guitar rock. If they`d only stay little till their pop records wore out, maybe more bands would be as enjoyable as Weezer.
