Man alive…Pinkerton is one of my favorite albums of all time and
these new songs SUCK.

WHY…RIVERS, WHY?

@HomefrontRadio: While your math is about right--3 to 2, so far, with the latest as-yet-undecided--the first two records are legitimately great. Let's fight.

Weezer are basically the Duran Duran of the grunge years - more releases people passionately hate than actually like, and what was liked was shockingly average in the first place, but for some reason people can't give up on them.

If a band consistently disappoints you and you keep buying their records anyway, then is it their fault for sucking, or your fault for being a undemanding consumer?

Man, I had high hopes after hearing "Pork & Beans," but this is no good.

What's with Rivers and singing about underwear? He mentions it in this and in "Pork & Beans."

Wow, someone who liked Make Believe thinks this bad. Not a good indication. "Trouble Maker" is a lot better, but not necessarily good.

note to curious listeners: “based on that melody” apparently means Rivers faux-rapping over tuneless power chord crunches while a piano tinkles the melody way the fuck down in the mix, with two or three other half-songs (that were probably the “good parts” *shudder* of songs he threw away) stapled on to the end of it, one after the other.
