Weezer (Blue) by Weezer

Pros: Great party album, it's a light in the days of dark rock. Better than Prozac.

Cons: Go ahead and shoot me, but "Undone" is way overrated.

The Bottom Line: Those who are just getting into Weezer, don't miss the Blue Album.

Review: Weezer is at least partly responsible for bailing me out of a great depression. It was 1995, summer was closing down, we were only months away from a big move, I had graduated high school 14 months prior and had still not found a job, and it...

Pros: In the Garage, Surf Wax America, and singles...

Cons: Many forgettable songs...

The Bottom Line: Overrated debut? Definitely.

Review: Among the first five albums I bought (a group with also includes Green Day s Dookie, Live s Throwing Copper, the Led Zeppelin tribute Encomium, and Stone Temple Pilots Core), Weezer s self titled blue album contained a slew of songs I adored. From...

Pros: Beautiful melodies, powerfully fitting lyrics and massive hooks - and the best guitar solos in years

Cons: None I can find.

Review: A little history about me : I'm a geek by design. What's better - I went to a high school comprised mostly of geeks - a state-run junior-senior boarding school for "gifted and talented students" ... (with a few exceptions, a fact that a few Epinions...

Pros: Every song's really really really good

Cons: Too short!

The Bottom Line: If you don't have this album, I can't think of a good reason why. Go get it now.

Review: The scene: Late 1994, Stafford Springs, CT. I was a freshman and had just started to make some older friends in high school. Friends with cars. So one day a few of us were out at the mall, and when I saw one of the other guys picking up The Blue...

Pros: melodic pop rock with a brain

Cons: only 30 minutes

The Bottom Line: The Blue Album is one of the best albums of the great album heavy 1990s. Enough said.

Review: The 1990s will be remembered as a decade that gave us an awful lot of great rock music. It was the decade where Seattle replaced LA as the rock music capital of the world (even if only for a few years), where punk with a new pop twist was not only...

Pros: Classic album that modernizes old-school rock 'n' roll

Cons: Holiday's not bad, but I'm not a big fan

The Bottom Line: A quirky classic

Review: Who would have thought that after the past few years of flannel-clad darkness and depression, one of 1994's biggest rock acts would be some nerdy-looking guys singing about Buddy Holly. Well, it happened. And just over ten years later, kids have...

Pros: Great songs, and vocals

Cons: Similar style throughout

The Bottom Line: The title says it all

Review: Back in 1994, Weezer broke through with the song ?Buddy Holly?, whose video was directed by soon-to-be video director superstar Spike Jonze, using scenery and old clips of the ?70s sitcom ?Happy Days.? Produced by ex-Cars driving force Ric Ocasek,...

Pros: Great songs, interesting lyrics, real music.

Cons: I really didn't want "Only In Dreams" to end.

The Bottom Line: There aren't many groups that make me want to rip my clothes off and dance around half naked but Weezer is one of them.

Review:
Weezer. Ahhh glorious Weezer.

I ll be brutally honest here. I know nothing about the group. Sometimes it s best to not know anything about a band and just enjoy their music. People seem to get way too caught up in the glitz and...

Pros: Rivers? lyrics are incredible, great new grunge band, addictive

Cons: Short, the title of my review (I?m such an idiot)

The Bottom Line: -

Review: The Blue Album, as I call it, is Weezer s first release and my first album I ever owned by the band. Yeah, yeah, the album is really called their self-titled release, but they came out with another one in 2001 with the same title only in...

Pros: Great power-pop with excellent lyrics.

Cons: Songs start to blend together towards the end.

The Bottom Line: If you are a geek, ever were one or just want to hear some good guitar driven rock I highly recommend it.

Review: Weezer was everywhere in the fall of 1994. I was a sophomore in high school at the time and the band had just released their self-titled debut album, which has come to be known as the "Blue Album" in some circles. The videos for "Buddy Holly" (with...
