Review title: Why bother?
Product review: Catchy hooks can't make up for a lack of inspiration, and there is none to be found here. Singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo seems to have completely removed himself emotionally from the music he's producing, and it's a shame, considering how great the first two Weezer albums were. Sure, they were a little immature as far as content, but every song had a heart and infected listeners like some glorious plague. This is a totally heartless album. "Hash Pipe" and "Photograph" are saved by a little bit of humor, but most of the music and lyrics are extremely bland (lyrics for "Island in the Sun" and "O Girlfriend" are outright embarrassing, considering Rivers isn't 15 years old). It's too bad Cuomo didn't challenge himself a little bit more, and it's too bad that fans had to wait almost 5 years for 28 minutes of soulless fluff.
