I liked a few songs from the Green Album. Maladroit was pretty disappointing. A few of their more recent songs aren't bad. God...I practically grew up listening to Weezer on and off.
@desertnerd i seen a interview from the guitar center sessions were they talked about this album and for some reason this album was a failure and rivers said he blamed himself cause he wrote songs about how he felt and put a lot into them for negative criticism. i say that he is afraid screwing up so he trys to write songs people want to hear instead of songs that are great and have meaning
@murfreeswhoro apparently butterfly was supposed to be the last song he recorded with weezer thus the "i'll return when the robin makes his nest but i aint ever comin back im sorry im sorry," how perfect would that have been.
but that lines probably more of an allusion to the play madame butterfly (there's a pretty good synopsis of the play on youtube btw) but weezer is pretty much dead to me anyways :D
@murfreeswhoro So you'd prefer the band members of Weezer be dead instead of making there next 6 albums? I thought the Green album and Maladroit were okay. And even if you don't like the last few albums (I don't much either), you could of just said you wish they remain broken up instead of actually being dead. That's a little extreme for a band you supposedly love.
Pinkerton can't be described in word - its timeless - and when I got this record I had a beautiful time... I had no problems, went to school and I had holidays ;-) This song is one of my favourites of the album... I always dream of the good times at the second verse : "All of the drugs she does Scare me real good She's got a tattoo and two pet snakes Nobody knows me like her nobody knows her like me we're all we've got and we don't want to be alone" so unbelievabal - thx rivers ;-)
Yeah I agree...about the sad reality. Cause I know what you mean. In this song..at this time..he cares for a girl much more than she deserves. Such is life when you are this sort of guy...Shit end of the stick!
this truly is their best album. i listen to it every night, and i tear up, because of how pacionit and powerful their songs are. never stop rockin weezer
@cardigansarecool when the red album came out.... it all changed - when i think make believe ended with 'haunt you everyday', - it really does haunt you, the old weezer - the music, the quality of music, cannot fault it
Weezer is Genius and all of there album are solide gold especially pinkerton the green and bleu albums all have alot of heart. el scorcho is my all time favortite but some days i like some songs more than other depending on how i feel.
I disagree with Micbill, I think the Good Life and Pink Triangle are great singles, infact probably Weezer's best...Cuomo's peak in writing. But I do agree the entire album is gold.
what does everyone have against pinkerton?..its beautiful :D!

@waxthatshit122334 Yup. He drives away the girl in "No one else" and when she leaves, "The world has turned and left me here"
He likes the girl, and is working up the courage in "El Scorcho" and in "Falling for you", he's falling in love.
