Weezer (Blue) by Weezer

Pros: Classic album that modernizes old-school rock 'n' roll
Cons: Holiday's not bad, but I'm not a big fan

Who would have thought that after the past few years of flannel-clad darkness and depression, one of 1994's biggest rock acts would be some nerdy-looking guys singing about Buddy Holly. Well, it happened. And just over ten years later, kids have long ...

Pros: In the Garage, Surf Wax America, and singles...
Cons: Many forgettable songs...

Among the first five albums I bought (a group with also includes Green Day’s Dookie, Live’s Throwing Copper, the Led Zeppelin tribute Encomium, and Stone Temple Pilots Core), Weezer’s self titled “blue album” contained a slew of songs I adored. From ...

Pros: Great party album, it's a light in the days of dark rock. Better than Prozac.
Cons: Go ahead and shoot me, but "Undone" is way overrated.

Weezer is at least partly responsible for bailing me out of a great depression. It was 1995, summer was closing down, we were only months away from a big move, I had graduated high school 14 months prior and had still not found a job, and it was...

Pros: melodic pop rock with a brain
Cons: only 30 minutes

The 1990s will be remembered as a decade that gave us an awful lot of great rock music. It was the decade where Seattle replaced LA as the rock music capital of the world (even if only for a few years), where punk with a new pop twist was not only...

Pros: Every song's really really really good
Cons: Too short!

The scene: Late 1994, Stafford Springs, CT. I was a freshman and had just started to make some older friends in high school. Friends with cars. So one day a few of us were out at the mall, and when I saw one of the other guys picking up The Blue ...

Pros: Great songs, interesting lyrics, real music.
Cons: I really didn't want "Only In Dreams" to end.

Weezer. Ahhh glorious Weezer. I’ll be brutally honest here. I know nothing about the group. Sometimes it’s best to not know anything about a band and just enjoy their music. People seem to get way too caught up in the glitz and glamour ...

Pros: Rivers’ lyrics are incredible, great new grunge band, addictive
Cons: Short, the title of my review (I’m such an idiot)

The Blue Album, as I call it, is Weezer’s first release and my first album I ever owned by th ...

Pros: The singles, pretty much.
Cons: The others aren't bad because they, well, sound kinda like the singles.

I’ve never really understood the concept of Weezer. A bunch of reasonably talented musicians headed by a fairly competent singer, and all of them dressed up to look like serious dweebs. Was that a marketing strategy developed by Rivers Cuomo and the ...

Pros: Catchy songs that will be remembered for a while by a great band.
Cons: Only ten songs.

Weeee-zer. Weeee-zer. What the heck is that? A band? Oh. This was not the first album that I l ...

Pros: A wonderfully melodic alt pop/rock album, Rivers Cuomo is a songwriting genius.
Cons: None, one of the best 90's rock albums.

I describe my tastes in music as that that I can identify with. I discovered Weezer in the mid-90's ...

Pros: GREAT MUSIC, an awesome debut from my current favorite band: Weezer.
Cons: Not every song is perfect...

Note: This review is off of a burned CD, so I am unfortunately failing to provide information about the manual/lyrics. But hey, it's all about the music, now isn't it? Ah, here we have it: my series of reviews for the NEW best band in the world, ...

Pros: Great power-pop with excellent lyrics.
Cons: Songs start to blend together towards the end.

Weezer was everywhere in the fall of 1994. I was a sophomore in high school at the time and the band had just released their self-titled debut album, which has come to be known as the "Blue Album" in some circles. The videos for "Buddy Holly" (with it's...

Pros: Beautiful melodies, powerfully fitting lyrics and massive hooks - and the best guitar solos in years
Cons: None I can find.

A little history about me : I'm a geek by design. What's better - I went to a high school comprised mostly of geeks - a state-run junior-senior boarding school for "gifted and talented students" ... (with a few exceptions, a fact that a few...

Pros: Ten catchy pop/rock tracks, perfect mix of different moods.
Cons: The "bands" albums like this ended up spawning.

As you can probably attest by reading my two Nirvana reviews, I've never been a big fan of alternative rock. But after seeing the video for Buddy Holly, I simply couldn't resist picking up Weezer's self-titled Blue Album. A wise purchase it was as the...

Pros: Um...... Everything?
Cons: Um...... Nothing?

Weezer is one of those bands that just about everyone loves. This goes without saying, after you see all of the other reviews on this CD. Most of the time, I wouldn't write reviews on something that is already so thougholy reviewed like this, but this CD ...
