The album hit No. 6 on the Billboard charts one week after its release. This album has several mu sical influences, including reggae, ska, country and of course, good oP rock and roll. The first track’s opening beats gets listeners’ heads banging and singing along to the band’s simple, catchy lyrics like “Answer the phone, I know that you’re home, I wanna get you alone, and do it again, do it again!” The al bum then moves to more groovy and laid-back beats with true-to-life lyrics like “When it’s over, that’s the time I fall in love again” in “When It’s Over” and “Un- The sixth track, “Ours,” in corporates additional guitars and keyboards and a synthe sized sounding McGrath with mellow beats, which is fol lowed by the hard driving, guitar drenched “Sorry Now.” One of the best tracks on the album, “Stay On,” includes reggae rhythms, background vocals and a Bob Marley rap from McGrath (The only thing missing from this song is two pina coladas and McGrath in my passenger seat). The album also takes an in teresting turn in its 10th track, “Just a Little.” The song includes twangy country sounds from a pedal steel ac companying funky rock-and- roll beats. The album ends perfectly with “Disasterpiece,” which could easily be mistaken for any great rock anthem. The entire album is perfect for summer get-togethers by the pool, and every song will have listeners picturing them selves in a Jeep, driving along beaches on a summer day.. (Grade A) Weezer Weezer Geffen Records — Lizette Resendez The opening notes of Weezer’s self-titled album screams, “We are back and with a vengeance.” While most only remember Weezer from “Ooh Wee Ooh, I look just like Buddy Holly,” the band is ready for a huge come back. Pheir latest album has reached No. 4 on the Billboard Music Charts. The first track, “Don’t Let Go,” drowns the vocals of Rivers Cuomo, Weezer’s lead singer, in guitars and charging drum beats. The album then moves into “Photograph,” which is reminiscent of “Bud dy Holly.” Weezer’s first hit from this album, “Hash Pipe” mixes rock and roll and ’80s new wave to hilarious lyrics like “I can’t help my boogies, they get out of control, I know that you don’t care, hut I want you to know.” “I lash Pipe” is appro priately' accompanied by a mu sic video featuring sumo wrestlers. One of the most memorable songs from this album is “Is land in the Sun.” T he openins lyrics, “hip hip,” bring thoughts of frogs jamming out on lily pads. The album continues through the last tracks with plenty of guitar, fast-paced rock and roll beats and thoughtful, yet simple lyrics. The last track, “O Girl friend,” ends the album with the sweet and goofy lyrics. Listeners can only imagine what type of heartache Cuomo must have gone through tobe inspired to write this last song, as they hear his needy cries for his ex-girlfriend. However,as sappy as the song is, Weezer manages to rile up its fans once again with guitar riffs. The entire album creates a new and unmistakable sound for Weezer. Perhaps it is be cause all tracks were writtenbj Cuomo, which many Weezer fans and soon-to-be Weezer fans, find perfectly fine. H'eezer is a summer-sound | ing album waiting to be played on stereos foryearsto| come.

That's what the fans always shout at me," said Doohan who played Cmdr.

Volunteer Continued from Page 3 “If I can share Jesus’ love with the chil dren and have them understand, that’s enough reward for me,” Blume said, adding that the church environment is es pecially inviting. “I enjoy being involved at my church, and being a part of what goes on there. It is rewarding to know that I am part of that family.” Other students have found their simple presence is a way of helping others. Some volunteers can spend time with elderly res idents at area retirement homes. Mike Adams, activities director for Crestview Retirement Community (CRC) in Bryan, said students can serve residents by reading them their mail, walking or so cializing with them. “Some students have been coming here for three years, since they were sopho mores,” Adams said. “There gets to be a relationship like grandparents, and they just keep coming back.” A new volunteer at CRC is taken through an orientation and given a tour of the facilities. They are then introduced to one resident, the student maj the other residents.
