Music reviews of Weezer (Green Album)
Music Review: Better than Blue?
Rating: 4 Stars
Like everyone else I was underwhelmed when this album came out. It was too short, too generic sounding, and only had like four good songs.
Well, I was wrong.
If you're picking five songs to take from each Weezer album, this one is the hardest to pick (arbitrary, I know - but Wes Anderson has broken into my house and he won't leave until I complete an erroneous assessment of Weezer's "Green" along a completely random continuum).
It's possible to take five cuts from the previous albums and be more or less okay with it, but at minimum, I think you need seven songs from Green:
Photograph
Island in the Sun
Crab
Knock Down Drag Out
Simple Pages
Glorious Day
O Girlfriend
I just think that if you chuck out Crab and Knock Down Drag Out, you lose a lot of the essence of the record.
Of course this is all radically subjective, but I think what I'm getting at here is that if you originally dismissed Green try giving it another chance (especially if you were disappointed with Red). It has virtues that I don't think were initially apparent to people. You most likely aren't going to find any Hollywood movies based off of the character archetypes found in these songs, but the final three songs in particular sustain an unexpectedly great mood - soothing, tender, joyful - that makes one want to re-hear the album.
Description of Weezer (Green Album)
Weezer, those geek rockers who topped mid-'90s charts with those oh-so-precious pop fables "Undone (The Sweater Song)" and "Buddy Holly," were almost undone by 1997's bombastic Pinkerton. Their sophomore release turned its back on the band's clean-cut debut, with a thrash approach more influenced by Sabbath and Kiss than the Beach Boys. On their third album (self-titled, like their first, but referred to as the "Green Album"), the band makes a concentrated effort to return to anthemic '60s punky pop, demonstrating that, for Weezer at least, it's rather easy being green. In fact, one could say they're almost as green as Green Day, especially on "Knockdown Dragout." At their best, Weezer show such boundless energy and gleeful aplomb that you'd swear you were listening to a lost Badfinger album. Conversely, Rivers Cuomo's twisted genius makes its way onto the anxious and paranoid "Hash Pipe" and the jittery "Glorious Days," making the "Green Album" the most absorbing and rounded vision from these pop masters yet. --Jaan UhelszkiGeneral CDs
