Weezer - still worth listening to?

As I type this I'm catching up on some work and listening to Weezer (the blue album).

Is their last record any good? After hearing the Beverly Hills single I totally went off them. Still, their last gig at the barras (a few years ago now) was ace.

If you want to destroy my sweater...

Re: Weezer - still worth listening to?

I got really back into the first two albums a couple of weeks ago, they're still amazing. After that, I'm not so sure. The albums from Green onwards have had their moments but on the whole have been a bit pish. Although I'm basing that on Green and Maladroit, I haven't even bothered with the newest one.

Aye, the gig a few years ago was a snore-fest.

Was Barras 2003/4? I saw them at Leeds in 2002 and loved it, but probably just cos I'd been waiting so long to see them (they cancelled Leeds 2001) and was just happy that I'd finally seen them play.

Re: Weezer - still worth listening to?

really from the outset that question's biased.

...it's assuming Weezer were EVER good

I love all of Weezer's albums, apart from the last one, which was awful!

Re: Weezer - still worth listening to?

I like the last album a lot more than Green or Maladroit and I'm more likely to listen to it than Blue and Pinkerton because I've played them to death.

'Beverly Hills' really isn't indicative of the sound of the record!

Why don't you listen to it and see if you like it rather than asking the internet?
