Music reviews of Weezer (Red Album) [Deluxe]
Music Review: Star Bright, Star Light
Rating: 1 Stars
I was a huge Weezer fan freshman year in high school when the "Blue Album" was one of the first Compact Disc's I owned. I bought the "Blue Album" with my first CD player, a 3-disc changer with tinny speakers. I was soooo bad_ _ _.
When Pinkerton was released, I was initially a little stunned that it sounded so differently than the breezy "Blue Album," yet nonetheless, as a high school-aged male I could easily relate to the adolescent uncertainties and anxieties that quivered in Rivers Cuomo's voice. Apparently I wasn't as plugged in as I am now because I was blissfully unaware that the media was telling me that I should, in fact, hate Pinkerton instead of adoring it. Yet, I digress, Pinkerton soon replaced the "Blue Album" as my essential Weezer album and still is to this day.
After Pinkerton, the decline began...
I tolerated the Green Album because I was desperate for new =W=. That is the only reason I listened to it.
Maladroit had some rocking solos that made me wish I could play guitar, but was pure fluff.
"Make Believe" had a few moments that brought me back to the Weezer of yesteryear, yet felt the emptiness beginning to creep in.
And finally, came the "Red Album," which I cannot redeem at all. The "Red Album" is the sound of a band that will be playing Casino's in 5 years. Weak lyrics, redundant riffs, songs that knock-off bad Green Day... Most stars flame out and most bands do not reach the brightness of Pinkerton. Weezer, please, call it good and let that light linger on.
Description of Weezer (Red Album) [Deluxe]
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.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
