Score another classic for Weezer. A lot of other fans I've talked to cite this disc as their favorite. It's my favorite too but I'm not sure why. The production seems a bit sloppier and the whole "wall-of-guitar" thing isn't quite there anymore but I LOVE the songs. Each one has a monster hook and is a lot of fun. "Pink Triangle" was my jam for awhile. Don't ask why. I also love the quirkier tunes like "El Scorcho." Why this one wasn't more famous I'll never know I guess because it didn't quite have the commercial appeal the last one had. Oh well... their loss.
Useless Fact: In "Across the Sea" Rivers Cuomo sings about writing to some girl in Japan and several years later I think he married a Japanese girl. I wonder if it was the same one as in the song? Anyone know?
