Music reviews of Pinkerton
Music Review: Weezer's best
Rating: 4 Stars
I realize that people love the Blue album, but for me Pinkerton is the best album Weezer put out, and remains a beautifully personal work to this day, offering such a sense of intimacy and acceptance - of articulate acceptance expressed in it's chosen art form - and has such a sense of confessional zeal about it that even without the rich song-craft on display it would have been powerful enough document to form punk teenage memories around. I don't know if it still has that kind of ability, and granted, I was a 17 year old white kid when this came out, but for me it is one of the 10 or so essential rock records of the 90's.
Description of Pinkerton
Limited edition vinyl pressing of the platinum-selling Pinkerton from River Cuomo and friends. **Please note that this vinyl pressing features 'For Promotional Use Only' printed on the artwork. 2007A hit single can be a bit of a mixed blessing for new bands, especially if said song gets you firmly lumped into the "novelty band" category. Such was the case with Weezer, whose runaway hit "Buddy Holly" touched a global nerve upon its release, then got on everyone's nerves after months of radio saturation. However, it did ensure that they sold millions of copies of their self-titled debut. Which is why it's so strange that their second album, Pinkerton, was ignored. Perhaps the cold shoulder was due to the willfully noncommercial first single, "El Scorcho," which crashed and burned. Whatever the reason, Pinkerton soon disappeared, which is a shame because it's a great album. Whereas Weezer reveled in the band's geek-rock image, Pinkerton saw Rivers Cuomo maturing as a lyricist. From the opening, "Tired of Sex," which rants about the frustrating easiness of groupies, to the new wave pop of "Getchoo" to the epic genius of "The Good Life," there's much more diversity here than the Pixies-influenced bouncy grunge of their debut. With the closing solo, the acoustic lament "Butterfly," Cuomo demonstrates a pop mastery that promises great things from this reformed geek. --Robert Burrow
