Weezer"Say It Ain't So"[DGC; 1994] It's been obscured by misheard lyrics, Rock Band histrionics, and Rivers Cuomo's guileless run as a pop mercenary, but "Say It Ain't So"-- lunging riffs and all-- is an intimate piece of songwriting. There's the specificity and shorthand in the lyrics ("Somebody's Heine is crowdin' my icebox"), and the shaded references to a father (and stepfather) addicted to alcohol. And, oh, the little things: Matt Sharp's tender backing vocals, Patrick Wilson's Spartan kickdrum, Cuomo's surprisingly forceful vocal. But when something like Ric Ocasek's swallow-you-whole production is this huge and roiling, subtleties wilt away.
