I agree with certain aspects, billy g. I heard Blue when I was 15 or so and it really got me back into listening to rock music after a long time of ONLY listening to rap. I kind of shrugged Pinkerton off when it was released. I was in college, and it got pretty bad reviews, so I never picked it up. I still remember Yail telling me a story and saying something about "listening to that second Weezer album" and me asking him if it was good, and he being astonished I had not heard, and me buying it either that day or when I got payed later that week. Fucking awesome album, with some catchy ass songs and some decent lyrics, seriously.
I also remember when Green came out and me and Busty and Yail freaking out to it when I came through ATL on my from DC to Cali (mattro fack, Busty gave me his copy to help me on my trip, BIG UPS) and I still love that album. Very good catchy guitar pop, without desecnding into mall punk.
I bought Maladroit the day it came out, but it oes not have the immediate pop accessibility of the others, and remains my least favorite. I have heard the Beverly Hills single, and while it hasn't knocked me on my ass, I await the whole album.
if I ever get too indie for shit like weezer, I will have to get a faux hawk and start wearing bowling shoes or something.
Jesus, you people and your bs taste sometimes
