the green album is about a pop music genius attempting to create the perfect pop song formula. it's as interesting as weezer ever got. not sure why people don't get that.

no. the production on the green album is flawless. you're crazy if you think the sound of the green isn't meaty. what they need to do is take back all the albums they've made since then.
I'm comparing the sound of this version to the album one, and this one DOES sound meatier/heavier or however you wanna describe it, the sound of which I would prefer on the album. Also , don't call me crazy just for having an opinion. If u ain't gonna respect other, get the fuck off youtube you fucking loser.
lol you nutjob. this is why i dont deal with weezer fans anymore. the cool ones were driven away by the horribleness of the last several albums. lol i'm not a weezer fan because i think the green album has excellent production? sound quality wise, the green album production is flawless. every note is accounted for, every sound in its right place, and it absolutely bumps on a good system. the lower register is fat. the sound of the green is FAT.
honestly, the green album is a combination of intriguing, funny, insecure, beautiful, albums i've heard in my life. it's an exhibition of genius. i don't know why weezer fans have to look at it with such disappointment. it isn't what you wanted it to be. get over it and realize what it is. don't get upset that the lyrics mean nothing, or that the guitar solos are an exact replica of the verse melodies, or that songs 5-10 share virutally the same song formula, or that it's only 28 min long.
i apologize. i shouldnt have called anyone a nutjob over a youtube argument. i just have an instinct to react because of how i feel about this album. put a wav file from the latter half of the green album into a waveform editor sometime. the wav forms are perfect rectangles. the wall of sound created by the 2 guitars, the bass (the bass on green is fatter and broader in the production than matt's on blue and pink), and pat's set, i don't see how the production could have been better.
That's exactly why they did it. This was during a period post-Pinkerton where Rivers only wanted to play for die-hard fans (to get back on their feet after people foolishly bashed Pinkerton).
No matter what my mood or how bad my day was, this song is guaranteed to make me happy. It's like the ultimate feelgood song.

@BiscuitsJoe Couldn't agree more. Whilst it might not be as good as Pinkerton and the Blue Album, it's definitely up there, not far off at all.

now, if they re recorded green with a meatier production like this and a few kickass solos, it could be a classic

sorry you're wrong/crazy
green production is weak
blue is perfect

I like the tone here too. they prolly turned up mids and bass on their instruments.

I'm saying. Most Beatles albums had songs under 3 minutes either and no one complained then either.

@LPfanatic102 Actually, based off of River's beard and Scott being the bassist, I'd say this is around the Maladroit era.
