“Seal”
Seal
Pop
Sire Records
Seal said in his 1991 self-titled, debut album, “I
hope you enjoy the record. It’s the best I had at the
time.”
Well, what he had was enough to garner him a
Grammy nomination for best new artist. Everyone was
wondering what this new British pop sensation would do
next. It seemed he wasn’t
JiAUSIC REVIEW finished with what he intended
jl VJL wmmmmmMmmmmm d° in his first album.
Two years, three months,
one week and two days later, Seal finished his second album.
Same name, same sound, but a bit more sophistication. “Seal
11” (it’s best to call it that for less confusion) symbolizes the
singer/songwriter’s musical maturity.
So, what makes this album worth listening to or even buying? Seal
speaks softly to the unconscious mind the second-time around. He
learned screaming the wrongs and pains of the world will not make
people listen.
“How many times have you fallen in love with a lyric that you
thought went ‘Show me a day with Hilde Ogden and I’ll despair,”’
Seal says. “Only to find
that it went ‘Show me a way
to solve your problems and I’ll be
there.’”
It would be easier for Seal’s fans if
the songwriter would include his lyrics
with his album. But, Seal believes, “the song
is always larger in the listeners’ mind because
with it they attach imagery which is relative to
their own personal experience.”
Unfortunately, that is lost in “Seal II.” He createda
mysterious persona with “Seal” that was rugged and
very powerful.
With “Seal II,” Seal is mellow and smooth. His voice is
clear, articulate; you have no prob
lems understanding what he
sings. And the words are more
personal. The mysterious per
sona is lost with each song.
But, “Seal II” isn’t any less
potent.
The album begins with “Bring
It On.” Vibrant and sensual with
Seal’s characteristic husky, passionate
voice singing the lyrics, “Don’t wait until
tomorrow/ Bring it on, bring it on.” Seal’s voice
is in the forefront.
In his first album, he let the music carry him. But,
this time he sets the pace and tone with his voice,
There is no need to yell, “In a world full of peoplq/ Only
some are able to fly/ Isn’t that Crazy.”
Instead, in “Seal II” he sings of “Dreaming in
Metaphors” with a stirring voice, “Love serenade/
Soothe me with morning sup/ Help me find someone
peaceful and non-judgmental.”
“Seal II” has much to offer. Each time you listen,
Seal’s compelling voice and words pull you into his per
ception of the world — a world of ideals and hopes.
A place not so crazy.

‘The Crow 9 soars as
fantasy masterpiece
By Paul Neale
The Battalion
The Crow
Starring Brandon Lee and
Ernie Hudson
Directed by Alex Proyas
Rated R
Playing at Hollywood U.S.A.
“I heard a rapping at my
door,” and it turned out to be a
hauntingly dark yet intriguing
film — “The Crow.”
When Eric Draven (Brandon
Lee) returns from the dead to
avenge the deaths of himself
and his fiancee, “it’s a bad day
to be a good guy,” as he so apt
ly put it.
Draven and his fiancee are
brutally murdered by a group
of vigilantes — reminiscent of
extras in a Mad Max movie —
on October 30, or ‘Devil’s
Night.’ And when dead rock
musician Draven rises from
the grave, there’s hell to pay.
One by one, the leather-clad
Draven tracks down and mur
ders his murderers using their
own individual vices.
“The Crow” takes place in
an oppressive neighborhood
harassed by urban ruffians.
And from the looks of things —
the dry ice “fog” and the ever
present shadows — it’s not far
from Batman’s hangout.
Expect to be entertained by
this gloomy flick. Accompany
ing the visual effects and the
ominous mood of “The Crow” is
a soundtrack of equal gravity.
Tracks from the Stone Temple
Pilots and Nine-Inch Nails add
an edge to the film, whereas
the Cure contributes to the
film’s grim suspense.
At nearly two hours long,
“The Crow” manages to fly by.
The film was so entertaining
the weakness of the plot was
not noticeable until two-thirds
of the way through.
So if you’re up for a thought-
provoking, happy-happy-joy-
joy film, you may want to
check out one of the other sum
mer hits with cowboys or
something.
But if you’re ready for a for-
get-where-you-are fantasy
film, “The Crow” will be diffi
cult to top.

Eddie Murphy makes

'Beverly Hills Cop III'
By William Harrison
The Battalion
“Beverly Hills Cop III”
Starring: Eddie Murphy, Judge
Reinhold, Hector
Elizondb, Theresa
Randle and Timothy
Carhart
Directed by John Landis
Rated PG-13
Playing at Hollywood USA
Each year there are a few
films that revolutionize, enter
tain and set the standard for
the film industry. And Beverly
Hills Cop III isn’t one of them.
Eddie Murphy returns for a
third reprise of Axel Foley, a
Detroit police detective who —
through irony of fate — always
seems to find himself in Bever
ly Hills avenging the murder of
one of his friends.
Murphy and Director John
Landis combine to rewarm this
theme and wield the irony like
an assault with a blunt object.

The pacing of the film is its
only merit, moving quickly |
through action sequences and
not getting bogged down in too
much of that plot and acting
stuff.
But ridiculous is ridiculous,
For example:
• The opening scene shows a
chop shop where two fat, hair-
matted Detroit car thieves ges
ture like divas as they sing Di
ana Ross lyrics. Landis has
succeeded playing old rock ‘h
roll for comic effect in previous
movies — “Animal House,’
“An American Werewolf in
London” and “The Twilight
Zone, The Movie” — but this
scene doesn’t work.
• After a gun fight in the
chop shop, Foley holds his boss
in his arms. His dying boss ut
ters his last words, strangely
in a full monotone, “Axel, are
you on a coffee break? Go get
that son of a bitch.”
• Foley ducks behind a
wooden, slatted park bench
while armed gunmen stand di
rectly across from him, shoot
at Foley with automatic
weapons and inexplicably miss.
• At one point Foley and
two Beverly Hills policemen
calmly hang out with several
bullets blown into each of them
and their blood spattered all
over themselves. They smile,
joke as if they are having too
much of a good time to let the
audience get down about a few,
nigh-mortal wounds.
Bronson Pinchot is back
pandering familiar shtick as
Sergio or “Serge,” an effemi
nate, foreign-accented snob —
which put him on the map in
the first movie and in the sit
com “Perfect Strangers” for
several forgettable years.
Serge was an art dealer in
BHC I, but now “Serge” is a
high-society personal protec
tion arms dealer (again, note
the delicious irony) who gives
Foley all sorts of cute, neat
toys.
You’ve probably seen this
sequel before — it includes a
new-look villain (Timothy
Carhart plays Ellis DeWald, a
Dan Quayle look-alike, and ap
pears about as threatening; a
new girlfriend; ideas from sev
eral other movies; cooler guns
and funkier gadgets.
Maybe you saw this sequel
in the last Dirty Harry movie,
when Clint Eastwood looked
completely awkward firing a
bazooka.
Or maybe this sequel was in
one of those later James Bond
movies, where the plot gets ex
ponentially outlandish, as do
the secret weapons given to
Bond by M.
Except this time Bond is
Axel Foley. And M is Serge.
Can you feel the irony?
