Tired Of Sex, Getchoo and The Good Life are my favorite

Is this album's status in 1996 proof that public opinion could yet change on the later albums in their formation ๐Ÿค”

It's so sad that they came from music like this to become what they are today. A quick glance at my chart will show that I obviously hold this album in pretty high regard; when a kinda goofy band like Weezer was actually able to bring themselves (okay, when Rivers Cuomo was able to bring himself) to write about something more personal and real, the product was something really strange and compelling.
So maybe there's hope for them yet! I'm keeping my fingers crossed, anyway.

I prefer side 2. The last 5 tracks are classics.

Not just great, but one of THE greats.

All tracks are great.

And here's the most quotable song ever (where literally every line is awesome):

Most albums (even the "classics") are lucky to have even half of their songs be filler-free. Then, some of the best have all great songs, but a good bit of downtime in the middle.

With Pinkerton, every one of the thousands of ten-second snippets on the 34-minute album can be tied as among the greatest song ever made. It's not just completely solid, but completely divine, with not a single minute of music falling short of absolute perfection.

It's such a shame that so many crappy bands like Tool waste whole seventy-minute CD's rambling on about crap like parabolas and "the problem of evil", when Weezer was able to talk about the most important parts about life, complete with ten of the greatest solos and one-liners of all time, in less than half of that.

About most important parts of life? It's emo. It's more sincere than what you would expect from those kind of bands that came after, but it's still an emo album. You know, "ugh.. Why can't I have her", "oh I'm a pussy", etc.
A lot more substance in Tool's lyrics and music (and I LOVE both Pinkerton and the Blue album)
