it's really interesting how the deluxe songs completely recontextualize the whole album and make it just end on a very fucking sad note... needless to say, i believe in red album supremacy. this is my go to drinking album.

A decent album, I used to like it a lot more, but now I view it as just decent.

The beautiful thing about this album is how it refuses to stay on one track. It's extremely unpredictable, with each track having a completely unique identity to the next. There's something great about how out of the box they got with this one. The bonus tracks are also some of the greatest material the band's made to date. Maybe there's some nostalgia bias with this one (it came out around the time I really started to like this band), but it stays at number 3 on my top Weezer albums and has yet to leave that spot.

The first six songs of the album are some of Weezer's best work (possibly even better than the Blue Album/Pinkerton), but most of the rest of it is just horrible.

Who decided on the track-listing and WHY, I'll never know. Seriously, the tracks from the Deluxe Edition should've been standard! Pig, the Spider and Ms. Sweeney are some of their best work, rivaling even Blue/PInkerton era stuff! Even King would've been preferable to Automatic or Heart Songs.

Like a lot of Weezer's post-Pinkerton albums, some really good, catchy tracks. "Troublemaker," "Pork and Beans" and "Heart Songs" stick with me, but, unfortunately, I find the album as a whole to be lackluster at best.

First half of this album is pretty good, its gets a bit boring and average in the second half. Definitely the worst Weezer album imo.

I liked this album when it came out, but coming back to it to compare it to Raditude I found myself liking a few tracks and really not liking the rest at all. Make Believe>Raditute>Red, if I am ranking the last three.

just because they were 'happy' when they wrote this album doesn't give them an excuse to write such utterly retarded lyrics. I love Pinkerton, and even so I'll admit the lyrics were sometimes clumsy, but the hooks, solos and vocals were always rock solid. Weezer were just being complacent on this album. The video to Pork and Beans pretty much exemplified what the target market for the album was: basement-dwelling internet nerds who would 'get' all the 'hilarious' youtube sensation references, and teenyboppers looking for the latest flavor of the month they could dispose of at the end of the summer. I'm not going to get into the argument of 'selling out' because I'm fine with that as long as the band in question still releases a good, catchy record. The Red Album does not fall into that category. Cuomo could get away with his awkward geek shtick back in 1994-96, but it's pretty pathetic now. 'Ironic' covers of Lady Gaga just emphasize that.

This album features both the best and worst material Weezer has released since Pinkerton. "TGMTEL" is a charming, infectious and over-the-top run through of Weezer's various sounds, the production on the chorus of "Pork & Beans" sounds like classic Blue Album era Weezer, and (if you got the deluxe edition), "Miss Sweeney" is their first new song to sound like a Pinkerton outtake. But then they included songs like "Everybody Get Dangerous," which is, in my opinion, the worst Weezer song EVER (even worse than "Possibilities"). And "Heartsongs," which actually has potential with different lyrics and, most importantly, less corny production. Oh, and let's not forget "The Angel and The One," which tries for "Only In Dreams" but ends up with Creed. Totally bipolar album, but for what it's worth I'm thankful for "Miss Sweeney."
