I'm puzzled by all the negativity surrounding this cd. It's a great catchy album. With fun songs and good to bob your head to. Maybe not the best Weezer ever, but it's good and I'm glad I got it. I mean if you are looking for a deep heartfelt tour de force of emotion taking you to the depths of human sadness and then whisking you off to the heights of ecstasy....well, all I got to say is have you ever listened to Weezer? Ever? You are looking for a deep cd from the guys who did Hash Pipe, Pink Triangle, and Buddy Holly? Come on guys....with the exception of Pinkerton, Weezer don't really journey into deep music. If I'm feeling some strong emotions I need to work out I don't reach for a Weezer album. That would be like getting dumped and then reaching for a Lady Gaga cd. I think she is a good singer and can make a good pop song. But a pop dance album doesn't help me when I feel down so I don't go for something like that.

That being said, I do have to agree with the critics on the Where's My Sex song. Radio friendly and not much else to it. The lyrics are horribly stupid. They really make me cringe.

But that song being set aside a pretty good record and a worthy addition to the Weezer catalog. So if you're on the fence about this album, I say pick it up. Catchy and interesting. And worth listening to a time or two. 3.5 out of 5 stars.
