ive been listening to weezer since i was 5 years old (that being 1994) and remember being floored even at that age by the sounds i was hearing, and was only further amazed at pinkerton. Although the disappointing green album was quite sub par, its sales at least gave weezer some mainstream recognition, and will hopefully allow more people to access their better albums such as pinkerton (which is HORRIBLY under recognized for being what I would consider one of the greatest albums out there, except for those few and far between TRUE weezer fans), oh and Maladroit wasnt too bad, i liked American Gigolo and Love Explosion, but nothing will compare to Pinkerton.
