A Little Respect
Since this came out in 2000, I've always found it to be one of my favorite albums. This entire album is full of great songs. Each song is different from the last.


terrible
i saw this cd at the library one time so i picked it up and thought i would give it a listen. i remember hearing of this band and "teenage dirtbag" although i had never actually heard the song before. and i have to say this is probably one of the worst cd's i have ever heard in my life. i dont know how anyone can actually listen to this without being embarassed that they are listening to it. their song writing skills are just very immature. the lyrics sound like they were written by a little 14 year old "punk a** b****" and the singer sounds like he's trying to immitate rivers cuomo (weezer) but it's just terrible. . . he just sounds like a douchebag. after skimming thru the tracks, which was painful enough, i took it out of my cd player and put it back in the case where it sat on my bedroom floor until it was due back at the lirbary. if you want to hear good pop/punk music with good geeky vocals, stick with weezer. . . this is just s***.


Not Just A Teenage Dirtbag
They are original. I love this band. Anymore, they aren't because bands COPY THEM. They're not sell-outs, and all the songs on the album don't sound the same. So, don't listen to that [. . . ]. If you ever get the chance to see them live, do it. I did and it was amazing. <3.


. . .Lets Take this outside.

Wheatus, is deep, funny, Rock out with your friend, kinda band. Wheatus has a style, a style like no other, some see them as a "weezer" clone, but thats just not the case what so ever.
They are not what one should ever call "Pop". Wheatus is not even what one should call "Punk Rock". Because if you go that far, you should go as far to say, Weezer is punk rock. . . which they aren't. weezer, and wheatus, are in the same catagory, but wheatus is i repeat not a weezer clone. This album is completely worth buying it, because if you find yourself ever, even looking at the Wheatus album, theres a reason you ended up looking at it. And that reason is that you are supposed to buy it, Wheatus has something and they are all together. They have a unique feel about them, just as a sence of humor, not everyone finds the same things funny, not everyone is going to like this, but Wheatus is a wonderful band, stupid might come to mind, but buying cd's about people singing of the time when they lost this chick they liked, and other stuff like that sounds stupid, but its all about the way it makes you feel. So open your arms and your wallet and embrace the glory of Wheatus, and there tell it to you straight, laid back, rock out, act stupid, laugh your a** off with your best friend ways!^. ^.


At First Listen...
But listen again. At first listen, the word stupid comes to mind. And then again. Then possibly again. There becomes a very clear underlying genius. It's as if Wheatus understands that they are being stupid and most people will recognize it and shrug them off as another weezer clone. But at the same time, they are very accomplished musicians and if someone takes the time to look past the initial stupidity, they are bound to find a brilliant record worth listening to over and over.
