Thoughts on the new Weezer record from the Killoggs Weezer fans?
At first, I was kinda disappointed but it's grown on me alot. Not a big fan of "Hash Pipe" but I dig "Photograph," "Simple Pages" and "Smile." OH, and I really like the "hip, hip" bit in "Island in the Sun."
It's no "Pinkerton" but it's fun. No shame in their game.

He spent a few paragraphs of the interview saying how much he hated Pinkerton, how he wished they'd never recorded it, how he wishes he could erase it from history, etc...
Linus said at 1:47 PM 05-24-2001: His hatred of Pinkerton comes from his super-geek insecurity. Everybody I know loves the damn thing, and they DO NOT play it at shows. At the last show, I went to they played neither "Across the Sea" or "Pink Triangle," two of my favorites. I think they played "The Good Life" and maybe "El Scorcho" but that's it...

eve said at 2:40 AM 05-25-2001: i think the only reason rivers cumos hated pinkerton so much was because it got really shitty reviews and the album branded him an "ego-maniac." he went into depression and isolation for two years after that...

I absolutely hated it at first, and now I'm startting to like it ?!?!?? Though their performed on SNL did nothing to help turn me around. Photograph is the bomb. It's so cheesy. Love it! Pinkerton is my personal fav album too. EVERY song on that album is just a gem! I love it! Fuck, I hope they tour Montreal soon...
Gen said at 1:25 PM 05-26-2001: Joe now calls me WP (for Weezer Pimp). This because I bought him the first two albums for Xmas (he lost his to his twin when he moved away to medschool) and I got him the new album for his birthday...
Sean [ url ] said at 12:31 PM 03-13-2002: I think that overall they are a good band...No! They are Great, but just like every other band no matter how great they are they have their ups and downs.Personally i love all their albums i can't wait until their new album comes out.But truly if i had to pick i couldn't because i could listen to all their albums all the way through 1,000's over.as you can tell I love Weezer.Just hope Rivers keeps up the good work!
