Popped Weezer's Pinkerton into the
Poped Weezer's
Pinkerton into the CD player on a lark.Both the blue and green albums are on the iPod, so I've been listening to them quite a bit, but the middle album is the forgotten stepchild. It's not hard to see why. It's not that the album was bad, per se, but it's almost deliberately unlistenable. There's no catchy hooks, the mix was aggressively discordant, all jangly cymbals and disjointed chords.It was artistically adventurous and all, but it didn't have any commercial appeal, and a Weezer is beholden to the commercial interests. Personally, I try not to be so pretentious as to demand artistic integrity out of musicians whose CDs I can buy from the BMG Music Club. Hey, at least they're not a one-hit wonder.
