I'm not a big fan of that album name but at least it's not another self-titled.

Has anyone heard "(If You Are Wondering If I Want You To) I Want You To"? It's definitely not annoying to me like Pork and Beans was from the last album.

Ugh. I love Blue and I like Green, but the last few records have been mediocrely mediocre.

I'm the typical Weezer fan. My favorite of their albums are Blue and Pinkerton. I think Red is third on my list, though. Green is last for me if you don't count Cuomo's solo albums. Maladroit and Make Believe weren't terrible. They were mostly 'meh'. I do like some stuff from Maladroit, like "Keep Fishin'", "Death and Destruction", and "December".

I've listened to it a few times. I really only like one track. :(

Kill HER! She likes one track more than the rest of us!

Seriously, Keep Fishin' was the last Weezer track I liked. They are pale imitations of the band the used to be.

Let's hear it for MOR college rock. Clap your hands, say...is that it?

Hey come on now guys, Raditude makes a great coaster. I love putting the bottle under the dog so it looks like he's riding my beer. It's cute.

Oh hell naw!

I really like that song too. It might be because of that adorable music video, though. Muppets, dude...Muppets.

Just listened to Blue and Green today. Man, why can't Weezer sound like that ALL DAY, EVERY DAY?

Wasn't even aware that this CD existed. Though it definitely sounds like it's a good thing I hadn't.

I pretty much gave up on these guys after Maladroit. What a disappointing crock of shit that was. Green was slightly better but still a subpar comeback. I love Pinkerton. I love Blue even more. They also got about a 100 great unreleased/rare tracks from the 90's that are up to par. Unfortunately they are just a shell of their former selves anymore. All the lyrics are simplistic beyond belief and it's fucking ANNOYING! A friend of mine burned me a copy of Make Believe and it had a few decent songs on their but not enough to get me to pursue their two most recent albums. Troublemaker could very well be the worst single they ever released... urgh. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

Yeah, it's godawful, and I hated all their singles after Perfect Situtation.

That's another one I despise, along with Beverly Hills. The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived is also just too weird for the sake of being weird. Parts of it work, but at least half of it doesn't. Whatever happened to singles like El Scorcho, The Good Life, and Island in the Sun? I think Pork and Beans is the only recent one that reminds me of what they used to be. Well thats all for now GOoD JOURNEY my fellow schmoes.

Weezer isn't the same band that released albums like the Blue Album and Pinkerton and songs like "Buddy Holly", "Undone", "Island in the Sun", and "El Scorcho" among others, but that doesn't mean they're no longer making good music. The Red Album is a highly underrated album, which includes Weezer's most musically ambitious (and one of their best songs, in my opinion) song ever: "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived". Also, the bonus songs off that album, like "Pig" and "Spider", are fucking awesome. As for Raditude, it's not a great album by any means, but it's so much fun to listen to and showcases Rivers Cuomo's impressive ability to craft a catchy, addictive song that will stay in your head for days and days.

Weezer is still a damn good band..."and I don't give a hoot about what you think." ;)
