The Red Album

Weezer's new Red Album is out, and The Valve [1] has something to say about it. I think I pretty much agree with this assessment. I hate "Heart Songs," but I kinda love "Everybody Get Dangerous" even if it is "forgettably adolescent."

This one is MUCH better than Make Believe even if it doesn't quite hit the level of Pinkerton or The Blue Album...but not much ever will. Plus, I'm 30 years old. If I was 18, I'm betting I'd love everything about the more recent Weezer efforts. People grow out of stuff.
