yes yes, i know i'm 8 years late and all that (better late than never!), but i just got weezer's blue-album a few days ago :-)
Before this i only had the green album.
This album is just brilliant! It seems so simple at first sight, but these songs really get under your skin... they instantly make me happy when i listen to 'em :-) Maybe this music is not as complex and deep etc as some other great artists... but i still think rivers cuomo is a brilliant musical genius! Every single song is a classic.

Yep! Great album! The "Buddy Holly" video was the first music video ever that i was impressed by.

Lol, i was just listening to Holiday when i read that... exactly that part!
it's kind of funny to hear "buddy holly" uninterupted though...
After "i don't care 'bout that, i don't care 'bout that"
I expect to hear:
crowd: oooooaaaahhh... voice: stay tuned for more happy days!
rivers: bang bang, knock on my door...
that video suits the song so well!

yeah i love that one too! (and the song... maladroit is next on my wishlist).
kermit:"the muppetshow is proud to present... i hope... weezer!"
misspiggy: "admit it patrick, you cannot resist moi!"
lol, i really think it's done superbly! Also during the song, i love how miss piggy tries to steal the microphone as soon as she spots the camera... hehe
hey they weren't half bad... nope, they were all bad!
:-p

dislike the green album very much. One of my worst buys.
Blue album though = tiny masterpiece.

i hear that i lot, but i don't get it at all. I think the albums are both equally great. Maybe green album is *a little* louder... slightly more rock than pop, but the differences are very small imo.
Especially no one else reminds me alot of one of the green songs, i'll have to look up which one.
point is: i don't understand how a person could hate one of those albums, and like another... they are so much alike!

i don't find them alike in any manner.
i find the green album original, inspiring, with a "we don't give a shit, this is what we do" feel. In the garage is about just that, how they're losers, and that's the way it is.
Green album is: We can make a 30 minute CD and sell 1million+ of them. Teenage Victory Song is the only one that reminds me of the carefree nature of Blue.
Green seems forced, un fun, and un weezer, with non of the fun hooks of "Keep Fishin" which to me sounds like a grown up, more able, but still fun Weezer

hm... uh... yeah. I get what you're saying, but when i listen to green album i don't hear that at all... it sounds brilliant to me.
:-)
And yes it's only 30 minutes long... but that's because it's very to the point
If blue album wouldn't have "only in dreams", it'd be 8 minutes shorter... approximately the length of green i guess.
All a matter of taste anyway, i'm glad i don't agree with you ;-) Now i can enjoy 2 brilliant weezer-albums :-D
What'd you think about pinkerton then? I haven't heard much about that album. Is it any good?

people say it's their best work or something.
I bought it and sold it promtly. That was like 5 years ago, and my musical ear wasn't what it is (no, it's still not very good either ;)
album just didn't catch my ear. Most weezer fans and hardcore audio kids find it to be their best album. *obviously this means it didn't sell well*

that sounds promising enough! But it is weird their supposedly best album went by so... well... unnoticed. It's like weezer had just dissapeared from the face of the earth back then.
Oh well... i'll definitly be checking it out! thanks.

i bought the blue album when it first came out, absolutely love it. then i got 'pinkerton' and hated that pile of garbage, so i stopped listening to them for a while. few years later i really got into the blue album again and decided to download some of their newer stuff, from Maladroit.. brilliant! they've gone back to their old style, kick-ass rock and roll

Blue album will go down in history as one of the best albums of all time, along with Orbital- in sides. And so on and so forth.

But i do agree... it's one of those classic albums that people will still listen to in 50 years time.

ok lets get this straight green and maladroit are among the worst rock records ever, green moreso than maladroit, green was a huuuuuge piece of shit, oh my god its nothing like weezer used to be. pinkerton and blue were good, pinkerton was better, now i dont even own any weezer or anything like this music. i still can see how\why people like weezer(but not green\maladorit). i bet people will listen to them in 50 years or whatever but maladorit and green are just painfully bad, uninspired,horrible songwriting and lyrics. im done now, just stating my opinion

after green, simply didn't bother with maladroit.
Song/video for keep fishing are hardcore though
How they figured out the tempo change in the middle, well, it's great
