i used to think that the blue album was better, but it just has a couple of standout tracks and the rest are above average and decent. Pinkerton is solid all the way through and it is more of an album if you now what i mean
Weezer sucking has nothing to do with Matt sharp leaving. It has to do with rivers no longer being depressed and the public reaction to pinkerton. that combined with beverly hills, i think rivers realized that the less he tries, the more records he will sell. also he doesn't want to be seen as a geek and has rejected the honesty that made him great.
if it sounds almost identical to the studio track, it doesn't seem that you could be paying much attention. there is no tangible lead guitar, Rivers' vocal is limp and off-key....regrettably, the band seem incapable of reinventing a track that remains the peak of their own develoment. RIP the real Weezer, that band died in '96.
What exactly died in 1996?why do you bother to use an apostrophe in the same paragraph that you screw up a word as simple as development?If you want to criticize me and tell me that i wasnt paying much attention to something why dont you pay some attention to what your typing.
Please don't criticize people for their typos, spelling mistakes, or grammar mistakes until you can using correct spacing after your punctuation. Also, you're using the wrong you're/your/yore. Being a spelling and grammar policeman is a volunteer job. It doesn't pay.
even the falsetto is fine, weezer are one of the best bands for there close contention to a studio track whilst singing live,not many bands these days sing without auto-tune! camden is one of the best performances by a band and is one of the best in regards to weezer!
I don't understand people that expect songs that bands play live to be exactly how they sound on the studio track. Why don't they just listen to that track?
I feel like this is the most "Rivers" song Rivers ever wrote. Even now that he's made even more money and is past all this, you still kind of want to apologize on behalf of the world for how pained "No Other One" can sound.
@BigJohnWoody you do know the 'underrated' means something or something are are not known well for how good they are (not many ppl know about it). from wat i read from ur comment it seems by underrated u think that the rating for the song is bad, people don't like it.

I like Matt the best of the bassist. He was good and helped a lot more with the songs than Rivers gives credit. But I'm not hating on Rivers he is the coolest.
Actually, there was more variety in the bass lines of weezer's songs during Matt's days than there are during any of the other bassists' time with the band.
Exactly, matt had the coolest little bass lines that you would discover over multiple listens. I'm sad that pat doesn't replicate them, as they really added to the songs (or at least for me they do, because I listen for them).
Pat? You mean Scott? And this isn't to you but everyone who disses new Weezer. Pinkerton and the Blue Album are the best. We know. But the other records are lighthearted, rocking, and positively fun outings. Enjoy for yourself, not what everyone tells you to.
No, the best track on Pinkerton is the hidden track on the Canadian 2000 re-release, "Gypsies, Blue and Green: Song of The Sea Crab". Sheer brilliance. A shame it is hidden.

This is song is so much better than all the other "I love you, cuz you're so beautiful"-lovesongs.
It means, my girl isn't perfect, no she got her mistakes and bad habits, but I love her. This is one of the only true lovesong!
Thank god, Weezer made Pinkerton!

Pinkerton was by far their peak, it was dirty, honest, and the best thing about it, was it depicted the great and the shitty things in life.
The lyrics are so modest.
