THE BATTALION
der the Sun,” a song in which
Mark McGrath recalls his
past summers growing up by
the beach and, well, under the
Sugar Ray
Sugar Ray
Atlantic Records
The self-titled fourth al
bum from Sugar Ray has
proved the band is only get
ting sweeter. 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..

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. (Grade A)

“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,

“We use student volunteers to do almoS
everything we do,” said Cathey Quintana ;;
the ARC director of volunteer services. “We f!
have disaster services programs, health anil

With ARC, experienced students can
lead instructional classes on CPR, first aid]
or babysitting.
A Red Cross student club is planned for ;
the fall, which will better coordinate vol
