Weezer (The Red Album)
Geffen
In an age where bands are constantly trying to re-evaluate their
sound and keep things fresh, Weezer is straddling the fence. On
one hand, their new release, officially self titled but referred to
as The Red Album, has a few tunes reminiscent of 1994-Buddy
Holly-classic Weezer glory. But on the other side, I hate about
75 percent of the songs. So sue me, I’m a Weezer purist.The
first time I heard “Everybody Get Dangerous” on the old FM, I
thought the DJ had accidentally put in a Good Charlotte cut.
What happened to the self-imposed lameness that made their
sound so good? Cuomo, you know what the fans want, so stop fucking around. Wasn’t Maladroit
enough experimenting?
