...guys in the Seattle-based rock band Pearl Jam are only in their 30s, but the group's newest album, No Code, makes it sound as if they're having a midlife crisis. The songs on the CD flail this way and that, screamingly loud on the vocal-chord-stripping song Lukin, restrained and dreamy on the ballad Off He Goes and fuzzily philosophical on the mostly laid-back number Present Tense. Sonic variety can be a good thing--the Smashing Pumpkins' brilliant double album, Mellon Collie and the Infinite Sadness, also veered all over...
...case, the release of the Broadway-cast albums of Rent (out next week) and Noise/Funk (in stores now) makes the music and messages contained in these two shows available even to people without gold cards and/or a 212 area code. Do they work as albums in their own right?

Dole would also repeal Clinton's 1993 tax increase on the Social Security receipts of well-to-do pensioners. And for a guy who pledged to simplify the tax code, Dole offered a plan with enough special breaks and incentives to keep accountants busy for years. So his notion of abolishing the Internal Revenue Service "as we know it" (a deliberate echo of Clinton's 1992 pledge on welfare) might take a while...
