Arre they classed as emo? I don't get the emo tag, maybe they arre maybe they'rre not, I don't carre. I bought Pinkerton on a whim and I rreally like it. Therre's something rrefrreshing forr me perrsonally (even though maybe everryone is tirred of it) to listen to songs that arre angsy and a bit self-indulgent. Prrobably because I go out of my way to avoid it. What makes me listen to this rrecorrd though is just that it's so well executed. |

isn't it "soft/funny" punk rock-ish stuff? |
||||||||

|
|
soft comparred to alot of stuff, funnyish... not too serrious. |

don't think they are, emo is more like post-hardcore music. Their fans don't wear dodgy makeup or dress all in black do they? Stuff by the likes of HIM and Funeral for a Friend which had a backing vocalist screaming and a main vocalist singing to offset the sound is usually classed as Emo... ...Weezer are more of a pop-punk band like Blink 182 I think (?) The only song I've heard is 'Beverly Hills' |

i haven't got around to listening to their new album yet although i will. The Green Album is excellent (the one with Hash Pipe on it). anyone with Win95 will know who they are :) |

what is Emo? is nickelback and shit like that Emo? Until now Emo to me has been stuff like Explosions in the sky and Godspeed you! Black emperor. |

they're like, the pioneers of emo. dig the glasses. "Weezer" (the blue album) is absolutely amazing. There's not a bad track on it at all. Stunning album. They've made some absolutely poppy crass since though. |

pinkerton and the blue album are absolute classics, I grew up on that stuff. |
||||||||
|

|

"They've made some absolutely poppy crass since though." yeah I'm not a fan of anything past pinkerton, but I still love them, maybe because of the nostalgia factor? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
totally, i'm the same, i still have great respect for them. Too many people associate them with shite like "Hash pipe" and .. that just makes me wretch tbh. Their old stuff was so brilliant. What oh what went wrong :/ |
||||||||

i LIKE hash pipe! :) |

i LOVE their kermit the frog 'W' logo, it's great. :D |

|

yeah i know, you really should be ashamed.. seriously.. :/ |
||||||||
|

weezer is so not fucking emo. the best term ive heard to describe them is nerd-rock. either that, or straight up alternative. but so not emo. |

"bought Pinkerton on a whim " Anus_Presley i am ashamed. no double r in Pinkerton!!! |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
i dont think he puts the double 'r' in proper nouns, as a rule. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
I haven't heard their newest one yet. But, Blue is such a great album, and Pinkerton is good too, but to a lesser degree. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
Why did they put that on there? That other video was absolute shite too. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
That would explain why the 'r' in his name isn't doubled. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

|

Carl doesn't do r's in names and/or titles. |

weezer have never been emo (i'm not sure about their new album). they've always been commercial pop-rock (nerd rock is apt but leaves out the POP element of their music, which is critical when describing them). but they predate mainstream emo by nearly a decade. it's kind of telling how Pinkerton was their one artistic-freedom album, their one chart-disaster, and in my opinion, their best. after the commercial failure of that record, rivers went "insane"/goth for a year and came out deciding he didn't give a shit about art anymore and has intentionally made intensely commercial music since then. and when i say intentionally in this case, i mean he went and compiled a database of hit songs and studied them and created formulas for writing hit commercial pop songs. |

I still like the blue album the best. "pinkerton" is good though. |
||||||||

I loveeee this album!!!! It's so fun!! My favorite song is "the good life" But the whole album is just so GOOD...And yes they are emo. If you like this album you'll definetly love their blue album, "WEEZER" SElf-Titled, the one with "buddy holly" oh man theres "the sweater song" thats FABULOUS and my favorite on that album is "My Name is Jonas" |
||||||||

|
blue is pretty much just as good songwise, but i prefer pinkerton due to the heaviness and concept of it. |

butterfly makes me sad |

|
the lyrics on pinkerton are wonderfully sick and desperate. i haven't listened to weezer in about three or four years, though. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||

I like the breeziness of the blue album, but how it also is quite melancholy ("world has turned and left me here", for example) and generally has a lot of heart, which, for some reason, the green album really misses. |
||||||||
|
|

|
|
I agree with alex qrterhans. |
||||||||

I think I'll get this 'Blue Album', but if it's shit I'll hunt you down and poke out yourr eyes... with my cock. |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
the green album is great! have i already said that? |
||||||||
|
|
|||||||||
| |||||||||
|
|
blue & pink are my favorites. green is ok, not much interest in anything past that. the new album is something i don't want to listen to. |
||||||||
|
|
