Get Weezer
I was a bit dissappointed when I heard the first single "Beverly Hills" off their new album until it was made blatantly clear (by listening to the lyrics and reading a number of Cuomo's interviews) that the song is a satire for how Cuomo has always felt he doesn't fit in with the Hollywood crowd. I've been listening to Weezer and loved them since they first came out. I guess you have to be a long time Weezer fan to understand something of the guy. They definetely have not sold out.

I gave it four stars because of "butterfly," that's my least favorite Weezer song and it was not improved in this CD.
"Island In the Sun" it's a lot of fun and sounds great live. It's worth the purchase.


Geek Rock
One of the most surprising acts these past few years is definitely Weezer. There haven't really been many acts these past few years that really have been more about image than the feeling or uniqueness of great pop music. They have really brought up a great deal with the feel of geek rock, and their latest single really does connect with everybody. Their latest track Beverly Hills is a great pop song. It is very upbeat and easily catchy. I like this song because it is very different and very vivid. Rivers Cuomo and company have really got a lot into good music right now. Hopefully, they can keep it up with their next single.

Song: B 1/2+ .


weak
i like weezer. dont get me wrong. i've liked them for a long time since their debut cd. i just found this to be a bit annoying. they're just giving into this image that all these other losers are grouped into and its sad to see that happen. the single is weak. the lyrics are pathetic. anyone could write lyrics as boring as that. sounds like he made it up while he was playing it. it's like "The Joker" meets "We Will Rock You". like a lame attempt at making an anthem for rich people. we dont need that from weezer. let the other mainstream pop idiots do that. hopefully this is just a fad and it will blow over. the live tracks are ok i guess and the video, but forget the single. yeah, its catchy, but its just not weezer material. 3 chords? thats all they're giving to us? come on. they could do better than that. i could write that. my dog could. but im not giving up on them yet.


Highly recommended!
When played on your CD player (or my DVD player) you get to listen to three great Weezer tunes - Beverly Hills, and live versions of Island in the Sun and Butterfly. This CD is really two items in one. Beverly Hills is a tune my fourteen-year-old daughter and I both agree on, it's great. I also loved Butterfly. I've not heard it on the radio, but it is also a great tune.

Next, when you pop this disc into your computer, it's got a QuickTime movie of the video of Beverly Hills, with the boys of Weezer performing at Hugh Hefner's Playboy mansion. On the downside, I could not figure out how to listen to the three tracks listed above on my computer, just the video. That kind of stinks.

Anyway, my daughter is glad to have this disc, and I am glad as well. We both highly recommend this disc to you!
