Editorial Review: Album Description: Limited Deluxe Edition of their 2008 album features four bonus tracks over the standard version and comes housed in a special digipak, with a deluxe booklet containing lyrics, photos, liner notes and band commentary on the songs. 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 already being referred to by people as The Red Album. Comprised of sessions produced by Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself, the album is adventurous and undeniably Weezer. The first single, the quirky and catchy 'Pork and Beans', was recorded under the watch of the Irishman Lee and already a Modern Rock smash hit. 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
Average Rating:
 Rating:  - Good fun, if ultimately underwhelming...This album is a really fun album to listen to. Just keep in mind that it is one of the weakest, if not the weakest, of their catalog of releases. It's just not as good as it could have been. Still, I would recommend this to any Weezer fan and the Deluxe Version is the way to go. Rating:  - A rock "opera"The literal definition of opera is "work" and it's obvious that this is a collaborative work from the members of Weezer. There are so many different directions this album takes (as well as different voices) that it is evident why this leaves some Weezer fans scratching their collective heads or completely panning the album. That said, I am giving this thing the full 5 stars it deserves. It goes full spectrum, from pop-tune to Queen-esque epic rock-opera to self-indulgent hype. Those of you deriding the 'awful lyrics' of some of the tunes have obviously never heard the phrase 'tongue-in-cheek'(and are not familiar with the mindset of Rivers Cuomo). This is a mature, diverse, sprawling work that (hopefully) redefines ...

You're probably wondering if the DELUXE edition is worth the extra money though, and it is! The song Pig is awesome and The Spider and King are nothing to shake a stick at either! If you like Weezer you'll for sure love this album! It's one of my favorite. Rating: - Red AlbumStill keeping in touch with their roots, but tweaking their successful formula ever so slightly to create a new sound that is still recognizably Weezer. Great album. Listened to it non stop the first couple weeks I had it. Rating: - THE MOST IMPORTANT REVIEW YOU"LL EVER READ!!!!!Well, I recently went on a shopping spree and bought every single weezer album at the same time. I figured that way I could compare them without a sense of nostalgia, therefore not being biased. I listened to them straight in one sitting and Red Album came out the grand prize winner. TRA has everything, soft songs like Heart Songs, fast songs like Everybody Get Dangerous, Songs that are fast and slow, like Dreamin, and songs that I just don't like, like Cold Dark World. (no offense Scott) I think Weezer did a lot of experimenting on this one, which is good, but different. The one thing I noticed is there is a significant difference between this and all of the albums. Pinkerton and the Blue Album both are rougher and have lyrics that border dorky, ... Read More: |
