To the whereabouts of my previous comment, I have listened to this album again and I've got to say that it is very good when you actually listen to the lyrics. Very profound.

Among the strongest albums ever created in terms of just raw, unadulterated emotion. No weak tracks, and the best tracks are among the best songs ever written ("Across the Sea", "The Good Life", "Pink Triangle").

Don't get it.

its ok but i prefer blue.

Not as good as their first. Slightly overrated.

It's a shame that Rivers Cuomo refutes this album while he embraces Hurley and Rattitude. To each his own. Nevertheless, while I may prefer Blue Album, this is a huge achievement. Easily one of the best alternative rock albums around, and it still holds up after nearly twenty years.

The distraught awkward youth's handbook.

Pinkerton is so raw and emotional it's impossible for me not to love it. Every song on the album is so powerful in it's own right, so honest. It's the kind of music I strive to write. No pretenses, just what you feel.

Just simply the most honest piece of music I've ever had the pleasure of hearing.

Every song until Butterfly just nails you with incredible riffs and a ton of distortion. My favorite album of all time. Just do yourself a favor and listen.
