I love the blue album! It puts me back into a special summer that was full of amazing music! We went to a Failure show in May and I told my hubs "They sound so much like Weezer", and he said "Yeah, but Failure was there first". I think I want to get at least the blue album on vinyl.

Weezer is solid. They're a fun live band. Saw them a couple summers ago. Would definetly see them again.

The Blue album is a 90s classic and strangely I just listened to Pinkerton for the first time yesterday after reading this thread and thought it was pretty good. I really never liked much else from them but a song here or there. I might just have to pick up a used Pinkerton CD.

Pinkerton is one the best albums ever made, period.

Yep.

Great band - one of the best from the 90s

you can stream their album on itunes. Not too bad. Better than their previous few albums, IMO

cool. yeah they are playing in philly also, $65 at the troc (small venue). Not sure if they are playing the entire album or not, probably are. I was thinking of getting tix, but a $65 is a bit steep for them allbeit it's a small venue. Also i might be going to another concert that night which is a little cheaper, lol.

Where do you get the time to listen to all of these bands, I have plenty of time of my hands and its still not enough to listens to all of these bands :-\"

I love me some Weezer and will be going to see them at the upcoming Philly show. The couple of new songs I have heard are not so exciting but I'll give the album a shot

Gardenparty

very impressed with the effort they put in to this one. Light years beyond the last two and I'd probably put it somewhere around green/maladroit in my rankings (3 & 4)
Back to the Shack is certainly the worst thing on the album

ledvedderman

Agreed about it being in the Green/Maladroit league as well as Back to the Shack being the worst song on the record.
Really solid album.

I saw them play the Troc in Philly a couple weeks back. I though the show was pretty lame. Their set was only about an hour and a half (over before 10 pm). The whole audience kept standing around after the show waiting for something else to happen. They played the whole new album and a few fan favorites. I guess it wasn't a bad show, I was just underwelmed, Maybe I am just spoiled by Pearl Jam and may other fine bands,

Rivers is a genius with melody....

A once close friend of mine tried out for these guys years ago, like years ago and they liked the way he played bass but didn't like him as a person. For once, I can agree with Wezzer. But I can't stand these guys. I don't like their shtick of trying to be an uncool band to be a cool band. Know why I mean? Lol

Blue Album still gets rotation but the others I listened to some when they came out and never really stuck with me.
I know it got way too much play over the years but I still rock the fuck out to Undone. Love that whole record but I crank the fuck out of that one at least once a week. Just did it now, thanks for the inspirado!

The Blue Album is so fucking good. Love every song on that album. I'll never get tired of Undone and Say It Ain't So. Definitely has to be in my top 20 albums of all time.

Few of my friends were at that show. Looking at the set list it looked like a great show. Yeah they played some of the hits but left out a few which i was surprised like the sweater song and hash pipe.

I think it's their best album since Pinkerton.
