Weezer (Green Album) by Weezer

Pros: Island in the Sun, Photograph, Hash Pipe...
Cons: The lack of variety, creativity, quality...

Weezer’s wide appeal is one of the few mysteries of music I’ve yet to understand. They are quirky and kind of funny and make occasionally decent music, but I’m generally unimpressed by the package. There are better bands out there with more ...

Pros: Great, fun sound, Some Decent Lyrics
Cons: SHORT!, Uncomplicated instrumentals

I don't grade on a sliding scale. By that I mean that when I review products, movies, books and music, it's all on the same continuum. So it's not like when I say a group is quirky or eccentric they automatically get bumped up a point. True, ...

Pros: Weezer fans will really love this
Cons: 5 yrs. 10 songs = 1/2 yr to write each ditty? C'mon now

Theories Run Amuck If you haven’t had the chance to buy Weezer’s new Green album yet, don’t worry. There will be plenty of copies on the shelves of used CD stores everywhere in a few months and you’ll be able to pick up a copy on the ...

Pros: Some good songs, Rivers Cuomo, some lyrics are good
Cons: A change in musical styles, some crappy songs, loses touch at second half of album

Introduction I have been a huge fan of Weezer for a while now ever since I read MattA75’s and Aerocat’s reviews on all of their CD. They kept bragging about how cool the band was and I was sick of hearing it so I decided that I should try ...

Pros: New Weezer! Rejoice!
Cons: 5 years off and all I get is 30 minutes?

"mellow"


That's the first word that comes to mind 30 minutes after the album begins. Even with the sonic explosion of Hash Pipe, the 10 tracks seem to float into each other leisurely bouncing the listener back and forth from mid...

Pros: power pop done sticky sweet
Cons: too damn short

It seems Kurt Cobain had a deep love of a record by a band called The Knack. You remember The Knack, of My Sharona fame, don't you? Anyways, Kurt considered it to be a brilliant pop album, and he loved it. But of course, it wasn't...

Pros: Really nice sound, three unique, great tracks
Cons: Not that original.

Wow, kids... here is an album I have truly feared reviewing. I have not been looking forward at all to writing this review, and for many reasons at that. I already written a review for this album twice- both came out as "Helpful," and I poured my heart ...

Pros: Excellent comeback effort from Weezer.
Cons: Pretty short, under 30 minutes that leaves you wanting for more.

When the power-pop band Weezer came to the alternative music scene in 1994, they brought in a simple power-pop formula along with a nerdy style that set them apart from many alt-rock bands at the time. Their 1994 self-titled debut was a hit...

Pros: Another solid Weezer album.
Cons: Doesn't quite measure up to the first two.

After an enourmous and frustrating (at least for fans) hiatus, Weezer returned in early 2001 by drop ...

Pros: it's Weezer
Cons: not as good as their older albums

After 5 years of wait my favorite band, Weezer has released a new album. This is their second self-titled album. Most people have been calling it the “Green Album” because of it’s green cover and green CD. It’s cover layout is the same as their 1996...

Pros: Every song is crafted perfectly. No filler at all
Cons: A tad short

I'm sick and tired of people slamming this album. It's time to set the record straight; this is a fantastic album, and is possibly Weezer's best work.

What sort of music is it?
It's simple, guitar driven, old fashioned hard rock. The...

Pros: Great harmony, good pop songs
Cons: not much lyrical prowess

I have been a fan of Weezer for many years ever since I heard "The Sweater Song" on an alternative radio station what seems like many years ago. It has always seemed to me that this band made music that meant something to me and furthermore sounded...

Pros: Ric Ocasek production, decent guitar riffs
Cons: No emotion, the need to be cool neuters the music

Note: As per my sister's wishes, the proceeds from this review will go to the Make A Wish Foundation. For more information on this charity, please visit their website, www.wish.org. Also, do not give me a good rating just for the charity. If...

Pros: Some fun lyrics and songs
Cons: Music that is repetitive and lacks any emotion

Their 3rd album, finally! Nevertheless, it's a disappointment. Their first album back in 94 had some really memorable songs like Buddy Holly, Undone (The Sweater Song) , Say it Aint So, and my favorite "Only In Dreams" The Blue album is still one of my...

Pros: Reminiscent of the Blue album
Cons: a shadow of the Blue album

Don't get me wrong, I like Weezer, but how many of the same songs can a guy take? Bottomline, a preponderance of 3-4 note riffs and overtly pop psuedo-rock melodies equals boredom. With that said, there are some redeeming qualities to this album, so see...
