Editorial Review:
Amazon.com's Best of 2001:
Weezer, those geek rockers who topped mid-'90s charts with those oh-so-precious pop fables "Undone (The Sweater Song)" and "Buddy Holly," were almost undone by 1997's bombastic Pinkerton. Their sophomore release turned its back on the band's clean-cut debut, with a thrash approach more influenced by Sabbath and Kiss than the Beach Boys. On their third album (self-titled, like their first, but referred to as the "Green Album"), the band makes a concentrated effort to return to anthemic '60s punky pop, demonstrating that, for Weezer at least, it's rather easy being green. In fact, one could say they're almost as green as Green Day, especially on "Knockdown Dragout." At their best, Weezer show such boundless energy and gleeful aplomb that you'd swear you were listening to a lost Badfinger album. Conversely, Rivers Cuomo's twisted genius makes its way onto the anxious and paranoid "Hash Pipe" and the jittery "Glorious Days," making the "Green Album" the most absorbing and rounded vision from these pop masters yet. --Jaan Uhelszki

Oh how Weezer-fans hate the Green Album. Where is the emotion? Where is that sound? It's the beginning of the descent into mainstream pop predictability....Maladroit...Make Believe...Raditude. The Green Album disgusts them. How safe and easy it all sounds! Did they forget that The Blue Album and Pinkerton were hated when they were first released? Did they forget that the Blue Album were called these same words, and that Pinkerton was dismissed as a lame attempt at the Blue Album? Did they ... Read More

This decent, short collection of post-Pinkerton Weezer assimilates their pop-rock emotionalism nicely, but there is a reason people say this group's first two discs are their only truly wonderful work- because it is true.

This album is easy listening. It wasn't cleverly crafted with masterful solos, soaring vocals and crazy instrumentation-no. Weezer made ten easy songs that would all fit in a concert and catch in your ear when you turn on the radio. Simple was the way to go, and they did it well. Who needs star studded picking when you can turn three chords into an unforgettable song? Tell me, are you frustrated when you hear "Hashpipe" or "Island In The Sun" on the radio? I'm not. I sing along.

I am not a Post- Matt Sharp Weezer fan, but this is and Make Believe are the least sucking out of the late Weezer albums. But seriously, The Blue Album and Pinkerton are all you need of Weezer. If you crave more Weezer- esque material I suggest you turn to The Rentals, that dog., and Fairview (if you can even find them on here anymore, I haven't really kept up but their first CD is really good). All of those bands are not as good as old Weezer, but better than anything Green album on.
