Amazon.com's Best of 2001
Weezer, those geek rockers who topped mid-'90s charts with those oh-so-precious pop fables "Undone (The Sweater Song)" and "Buddy Holly," were almost undone by 1997's bombastic Pinkerton. Their sophomore release turned its back on the band's clean-cut debut, with a thrash approach more influenced by Sabbath and Kiss than the Beach Boys. On their third album (self-titled, like their first, but referred to as the "Green Album"), the band makes a concentrated effort to return to anthemic '60s punky pop, demonstrating that, for Weezer at least, it's rather easy being green. In fact, one could say they're almost as green as Green Day, especially on "Knockdown Dragout." At their best, Weezer show such boundless energy and gleeful aplomb that you'd swear you were listening to a lost Badfinger album. Conversely, Rivers Cuomo's twisted genius makes its way onto the anxious and paranoid "Hash Pipe" and the jittery "Glorious Days," making the "Green Album" the most absorbing and rounded vision from these pop masters yet. --Jaan Uhelszki

short but sweet August 17, 2010

First off, this is technocly an EP. That said, The GReen Album by Weezer is my personal favortite of the group. All of the songs on the ablum are Ipod-friendly. I like how all the songs are in the 2-3 minute range, perfect for a quick listen in the car. Very highly recommened.

The Green Album November 1, 2009
Alex (Hartford, CT)
Oh how Weezer-fans hate the Green Album. Where is the emotion? Where is that sound? It's the beginning of the descent into mainstream pop predictability....Maladroit...Make Believe...Raditude. The Green Album disgusts them. How safe and easy it all sounds! Did they forget that The Blue Album and Pinkerton were hated when they were first released? Did they forget that the Blue Album were called these same words, and that Pinkerton was dismissed as a lame attempt at the Blue Album? Did they forget that Rivers Cuomo had been gone for six years, and when he came back, when he realized that the fans loved him, his torture was all gone, and a man he was! So, maybe, after Pinkerton, Rivers will never be able to write songs as emotional as those found in Pinkerton, but honestly, with the goodness of your very soul, who would want him to? Who would want him to suffer that sort of pain and torture again? This is a different man writing different songs, and the inspiration is entirely different. You can't be angry at that. There will never be another Blue Album or Pinkerton. Those albums stand alone as a pinnacle of the 90's. Let the 2000s begin, and a new Weezer be born, and we'll judge the future albums on their individual worth alone. So then, what is the Green Album? It's a perfect pop-punk album, one of the best ever made, let's be honest. It's everything that Sum 41 and Blink 182 were doing, only way way better. There's not a weak song on this album. "Photograph" and "Island in the Sun" are astonishing. If the heavy guitars were stripped, what you have here is an album as solid as a Beach Boys or Beatles album, yes I've said it, and safe and predictable as it all sounds, it's no less safe or predictable than an album they would have made. Who is to say straight-forward pop is not to be safe and predictable? Are we so caught up in the alternative that a song has to sound and be completely different or a mating between two different sounds to have any value at all? No! Of course not! Let the Green Album be what it is, and do what it does well. "Don't Let Go" "Simple Pages" even "O Girlfriend". These are solid, sweet pop songs. Let your critic and Nirvana-tinged idiosyncratic minds be subdued, bring out the child in you, and sing as you would sing "California Girls" or "I Wanna Hold Your Hand". Then play "Photograph" and try not to be moved. Pop does live on.

This decent, short collection of post-Pinkerton Weezer assimilates their pop-rock emotionalism nicely, but there is a reason people say this group's first two discs are their only truly wonderful work- because it is true.

This album is easy listening. It wasn't cleverly crafted with masterful solos, soaring vocals and crazy instrumentation-no. Weezer made ten easy songs that would all fit in a concert and catch in your ear when you turn on the radio. Simple was the way to go, and they did it well. Who needs star studded picking when you can turn three chords into an unforgettable song? Tell me, are you frustrated when you hear "Hashpipe" or "Island In The Sun" on the radio? I'm not. I sing along.
