Our Review

Whether jinxed by sophomore curse or suffering from the incessant overexposure their debut album's breakout hits "Buddy Holly" and "Undone (The Sweater Song)" spawned, Weezer's second album was a decided commercial disappointment. A more likely culprit seemed Rivers Cuomo's distaste for that hype, leading to a firmer, more provocative hand on the band's fortunes on this 1996 release. That sensibility produces an aggressive, culture-mocking left turn of a single in "El Scorcho," and a sonic approach that is often as cluttered and dark as their debut had been sunny and carefree. The album's loose concept (it was structured around Madame Butterfly) is so slack it likely escaped many listeners, even with the acoustic closer "Butterfly" dropping a final hint. Yet there are flashes of the more familiar Weezer charm in the frustrated romance of "Pink Triangle," the catchy chorus of "The Good Life," and even "Falling For You's" more muscular approach.

Pinkerton... Greatest Weezer Album Ever? (5 stars)
Even though, most of todays Weezer listeners love the Blue Album over all others, I beg to differ. Pinkerton is the most personal, is filled with the most heart, and has some of the best lyrics every written by Weezer. It doesnt fall into a trap of being too "Pop" like the Green Album, and isn't over-played like Make Believe. When I first started listening to Weezer, I loved the Blue Album and discounted Pinkerton, as everyone e

Weezer's best, and one of the best of the 90s. (5 stars)
Pinkerton is superb. No Weezer album makes better use of "the art of noise" than this one -- another Itunes reviwer has called it "sloppy-but-beautiful," which is a good way to put it. The tension in the combination of noise and sweetness is what energizes the music. The more pretty the melodies become, the more the songs are laden with noisy guitars or coarse singing, especially in "El Scorcho" or "Pink

heh (5 stars)
It's funny because some of you complain and say that everyone just likes weezer now that they're cool again, and all the bull, but it is true. I however, don't listen to the radio, and don't give to $#!ts about "popular culture" heard the song El Scorcho introveniously, it being the background music to a animated short I saw, and was instantly taken aback by how incredible a song it was. I, not knowing who weezer was a the time, pu

As one of the most popular groups to emerge in the post-grunge alternative rock aftermath, Weezer received equal amounts of criticism and praise for their hook-heavy guitar pop. Drawing from the heavy power pop of arena rockers like Cheap Trick and the angular guitar leads of the Pixies, Weezer leavened their melodies with doses of '70s metal learned from bands like Kiss. What truly set the band apart, though, was their geekiness. None of the members of Weezer, especially leader Rivers Cuomo, were...
