Review By discconnected
As one of the most popular groups to emerge in the
post-grunge, alternative rock aftermath, Weezer consistently
delivers their trademark hook-heavy guitar pop. For
the third time in its six-album history, Weezer released
a self-titled album, and to distinguish it from the
other eponymous albums, it's being referred to as
"The Red Album."
I suspect this may be because the packaging is red.
Composed of sessions produced by Rick Rubin, Jacknife
Lee and the band itself, the album is adventurous
and undeniable Weezer pop-rock. The Red album forges
new territory with all four members taking turns singing
lead. This disc is the rarest of modern music combinations:
being both immediate and having the quality of growing
better upon each subsequent listen.
"Pork and Beans," the first single, was
a tease of what was to come, written after an intense
meeting with Geffen who didn't hear a single. Rivers
angrily went home to write this song as a backlash
to the record company for not respecting the freedom
of the band, and it ends up as one of the strongest
tracks on the album.
Die hards will want to pick up the deluxe long version
with extra tracks.

Review By Ceege
Weezer - the voice of yet another generation. The power-pop
clan adds another album to their all ready growing catalog
of ten-track releases. If you were stoked by their predecessors,
the Blue and Pinkerton records, then this CD should
be blasting @ your homestead. Check out Track 4, titled
Heart Songs. Go ahead and revel in the days of your
favorite rock icon. Track 1, Troublemaker, starts this
record out and keeps it spiraling out of control. Look
for them if they tour in your area. This is a keeper.

you love it!" - Rivers Cuomo |
