Review title: breaks new ground for terrible
Product review: So, first off, I bought this album the day it came out. And promptly returned it. Three months later I was convinced by a friend to "give it a second chance." Two weeks (and more than a few *painful* listens) later I returned it again. Why?Because this is an unemotional, flat, uninspired, commercial record.The blue album was interesting and fun; pinkerton was masterful and sweeping--but shallow-minded popular critics panned it. Unfortunitially Rivers appeared to care what they said and ran away. Now he's back, but in such a hollow, cheap, mass-produced format that it isn't worth owning. Ganted some rabid people will cry out "but it's still WEEZER!"-- though they fail to see that it's not the weezer with talent, with grace, with candor that we knew.sigh... if you want good, interesting, and intelligent reviews (much MUCH better than mine) go to pitchforkmedia.
