Advantages: A number of brilliant tracks, some of which show great potential. Disadvantages: Demo recordings so sound quality can be poor.
Rivers Cuomo is an extremely introverted and at times highly insolent individual. His sanity has been questioned many a time over the years, and his isolation from others is clear for all to see. Despite his questionable state of mind, Weezer as a band have continued for the most part to release excellent albums over the years and now comes this latest release from Rivers Cuomo as a solo artist. 'Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo' is exactly as it says on the tin, it is a collection of demo recordings that he has recorded between the years of 1992 and 2007. Being demo recordings, the quality is often quite bad, but nonetheless some excellent tracks can be made out as Rivers Cuomo progresses his way through this collection. Many mistakes are made, and at times the vocals are completely off key, but the makings of some brilliant ...
Advantages: Scenery of Rome, adventure Disadvantages: None

Home Alone, was a classic hit comedy film that was first released in 1991. Even in my adulthood, I am more than happy to watch the film again, and when I was a kid I use to remember watching this film a hundred times during the Christmas holidays and summer holidays. It was such a feel good family fun film; it was the sort of film that even if you?ve watched it once you would never gets bored watching it over and over again.
Plot:

Album Notes
DEMONS DANCE ALONE is the Residents at their most poppish. Although, fittingly, it's a candy coating over a darkly beating heart. Recorded in the Residents' 30th year as an ensemble, DEMONS DANCE ALONE harks back to such bleakly gleeful works as DUCK STAB and THE COMMERCIAL ALBUM. The opening number, "Life Would Be Wonderful," captures the tone of the whole set. After its opening foundation of whispered voices followed by a keyboard figure, a trumpet enters, offering a melody that is the very picture of melancholy. The song's title is the chorus, sung by multi-tracked female voices. The focus here (and throughout) is on the "would be"--there's never a "Life IS Wonderful" with The Residents. The sounds of vulnerability and uncertainty make this album one of the Residents' most warmly human. With their extensive use of female vocals, there's an additional lilting beauty and a ray of light to these songs of dashed hopes, evil powers, and fractured circumstances.
Album Reviews
Mojo (10/02, p.102) - "...DEMONS DANCE ALONE is an excellent bent-pop song-cycle in the mode of their classic DUCK STAB. [Their] access to wonderful mysteries remains unimpeded..." Uncut (01/03, p.126) - 4 stars out of 5 - "...Its folksy, disembodied key
