New Weezer
The Red album is due June 24, but single "Pork & Beans" is available for digital download today.

It's pretty ... meh. More "Beverly Hills" than "My Name is Jonas." Is it fair to keep comparing the band to an album they made 14 years ago? Well, I'm just going to say it: Weezer Blue is the only album of theirs that I liked cover to cover. Yeah, Green had its moments, and I really love love love this video for "Keep Fishing" off "Maladroit" (but, you know, Muppets). But, I don't know. Maybe it's the Matt Sharp factor.
Anyway, I'm getting off track here. After listening to it, like, five times in a row ... I'm starting to get into it, but this line, "Oakley makes the shades that transform a tool," just totally turns me off. Way to use a self-conscious dated reference to sunglasses and mid-'90s slang, Rivers. Yeah, I don't care either.

Weezer still consistently puts out good music, but you're right, Blue is untouchable. A classic!
