Weezer: Keep Fishin'
Artifice and Edifice. Two of the key aspects in the career of Rivers Cuomo.
Why does a man who can construct songs of such utter sublime brillance and
simplicity seem to be such a complex person? And why do I get the feeling that
he's never been really, truly honest with me?
I mean, is he really still singing about girls for his sake? Or is it ours? This time, as ever, the song's full of beans, power pop with sublime harmonies, coupled with the slightly disconcerting pay-off line:
"There's nothing much that we can do
To save you from yourself"
Its not a new trick to meld the most upbeat of songs with the catchiest of
lyrical soundbites whilst hiding a dark core, but its one of the cleverest.
The bandwagon of one of rock's biggest misanthropes trundles subversively on.

Weezer - Keep Fishin'
and 1 for the crap/lazy review.-
Re: Weezer - Keep Fishin'
Hmm. It wasn't a lazy review, I thought about it alot, tried to deconstruct the key points of the thing. It seemed more like a *product* than a single, and that was what I was trying to get across. Obviously didn't work.
going to post up my other review soon. Im not a lazy reviewer. Honest.
thanks.-

Re: Weezer - Keep Fishin'
I thought it was a good review
Though it's always helpful when the music is described too ;)
