Editorial Review: Album Description: Weezer - one of the biggest and most influential bands of the last decade will for the third time in its six-album history release a self-titled album. The new album will hit streets on June 24 through DGC/Interscope Records. To distinguish it from the other eponymous albums it's being referred by people as "The Red Album." Comprised of sessions produced by Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself, the album is adventurous and undeniable Weezer pop-rock. The first single, the quirky and catchy "Pork and Beans," was recorded under the watch of the Irishman Lee and will soon be a Weezer classic. Amazon.co.uk: Early word on the sixth album from Weezer--and their third self-titled record, although fans, sensibly, are referring to it as "The Red Album"--is that this is their experimental record. Luckily, Rivers Cuomo isn’t interested in penning his own jazz odyssey; for him, experimental is just finding cunning ways to nuance Weezer’s stock-in-trade--crunchy, candy-sweet guitars and vocal harmonies--with new pop tricks. The sardonic lyric of "Pork and Beans" hints at a new direction: "Timabaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts," Cuomo sings, "maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art". Actually, Timbaland’s not on board, but producer Jacknife Lee brings a variety of drum machines and electronics, and Weezer rise to the challenge with some generally inspired messing around. "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Theme)" sees Cuomo adopt a gangsta rap slur over screaming sirens, while elsewhere, the other three Weezer members take a turn at the microphone. But it’s Cuomo’s songs that are the winners--notably "Heart Songs", a tribute to the songs that "never feel wrong" that swoops from melodic schmaltz to grunge scuzz with a deft invocation of Nirvana. Skip to the bonus tracks, meanwhile, for a great cover of "The Weight" that takes The Band’s original and drenches it in chundering guitars. --Louis Pattison Customer Reviews

 Rating:  - All Along the Rainbow...It is another year and the influential band known as Weezer releases another color coded album, this time we have red. The colored albums are more similiar to each other than any of the bands other releases. We have the familiar pop/rock craft from Rivers & company, only this time it is more experimental and not as straight ahead. Is that a good thing though? Well, with "The Greatest Man that ever Lived" it shows experimentation can go a long way, on other tracks it is more of a strike than a homerun. "Everybody Get Dangerous" is just silly and juvenile, now that may be the point, but seriously how old is the band now? Do they really need to squeeze this track on this otherwise good album? It's the choices like these that can make or break ...

We had the Blue Album and The Green Album in the past which I loved and underground alternative rock fans loved as well. So after Make Believe it seemed the band was dying down and due to comments made by the band and singer Rivers Cuomo in interviews, I wasn't sure if they were going to remain together or go off with their own side projects like they've done in the past, but now they come forth with The Red Album. I love the energy of this album because it brings back the fun and quirky nerdi-ness that got you to fall in love with Weezer in the early 1990's. ...

If you were like me and really lost your love of this band after Pinkerton then this cd is for you. It's fantastic and Angel and the one is so like only in dreams in the that feel that you should fall in love all over again. If you ever listen to me on anything it's giving this cd a try. Rating: - Doesn't match earlier works, but could be a growerTo elaborate on the title, this was the first Weezer album I'd ever heard. I liked it, though parts of it sounded dated (I was going for that, anyway). But after hearing Blue and Pinkerton, I'm not sure how I feel anymore. On one hand, its decently catchy pop, but on the other, it doesn't come anywhere near the previously mentioned albums. The stand-out tracks would have to be "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived", "Pork and Beans", and "The Angel and the One". The rest is fairly forgettable, but its not BAD, like a lot of people say. Could be a grower in the months and years to come. Rating:  - worst weezer cd by far!!!!lyrics are like a 12 year old little boy wrote them, im sorry rivers what school did you attend harvard? harvard elementry? k... the worst music ever you think 10 songs would be picked and they would be amazing, everyone just give up with weezer they will never put out another pinkerton or blue album again its over they had there 2 great albums then ran out of good ideas, i'd buy a britney spears album before this garbage im very dissapointed in this cd thank god i downloaded it 1/5 dont even bother downloading it |
