    Every time I read a thread about Weezer something always confuses me. I remember when Pinkerton came out it got mad hate. The world basically shunned Weezer and the album was considered poor, garbage even. They kind of fell off the face of the earth until the Green album came out, and then they were ok again. That being said, Pinkerton is now regarded by many people as their best work. I liked it even when it came out but got hated on for liking it.

    Why was there such a big turn around of the general opinion of this record?

    And the new single, meh, not their best by any means but not horrible either, IMO....

    I think a lot of it is it was a 'grower.' It took a while for a lot of people to get it so to speak. Then there's also a lot that embraced it later on because it became cool in the Weezer cirlce to do so. It was by far their least commercial so, its cool to like it now. Most will obviously claim they are from the first reason but, the majority is from the second lol.

    Yeah, i don't really know why. I enjoyed the Blue a lot and when Pinkerton came out I remember really digging El Scorcho but not even giving the record much of a shot. Then a few years later I went back to it and introduced myself to the entire record. Fell in love with it. Maybe it was just a bad time for a record like that to released. No one was ready for it/in the mood for it

    It was the same with Binaural for me. Though I gave it much more love despite not really caring for it. But it took years to make it onto my good list
