Weezer (Red Album) In-Depth Review

Troublemaker- RATING **** A good Weezer song (compared to Beverly Hills or We Are All on Drugs). A bit repetitive, though.

The Greatest Man That Ever Lived- RATING ***** A great song that is different from stuff that they have ever done. Sounds a bit Queen-like if you ask me. This song doesn’t really have a chorus, so it reminds me of Bohemian Rhapsody.

Pork and Beans- RATING ***** This track is quality Weezer. The whole song is great. It reminds me of whatthey did on Pinkerton.

Heart Songs- RATING ** This song pretty much blows, but it is better than Butterfly from Pinkerton.

Everybody Get Dangerous- RATING ***** This song rocks, that’s all I’ve got to say.

Dreamin’- RATING **** Sounds like a classic Weezer song, although I could live without that lame slow portion in the middle of the song. Almost ruins it.

Thought I Knew- RATING *** Pretty boring and acoustic. Could live happily without it.

Cold Dark World- RATING *** Not too bad a tune, but not their best work either.

Automatic- RATING **** A great song with bizarre synth effects. The song is quite repetitive, but enjoyable nonetheless.

The Angel and the One- RATING ** Talk about a way to end an album. Man, this is not good work at all. I was extremely disappointed in this song.

OVERALL RATING 3.7/5
This album certainly isn’t as good as Pinkerton or Blue, but it will suffice as better than their previous album. I bought this at Wal-Mart and they didn’t have any Deluxe Editions, so I will have to wait until my sister gets her copy from Amazon to rate the bonus tracks.
