Product Description

Amazon.co.uk Review

Widely credited with being the band who kicked off (and merged) the two sub-genres of punk-pop and geek rock, The Green Album is Weezer's attempt to wrestle back their crown from the upstart likes of Blink 182 and Wheatus. The Green Album, recorded nearly five years after their previous album, the widely ignored (but wholly excellent) Pinkerton, sees the band reunited with former Cars frontman Rik Ocasek, who produced their multi-platinum debut way back in 1994. The result is an album of catchy pop gems, more accessible than Pinkerton, and with a quicker pace and more sonic depth than Weezer. Though the high-pitched harmonies of former bassist Matt Sharp are missed (he left to focus on his own band, the Rentals), lead singer/songwriter Rivers Cuomo still has a way with an infectious hook and a sing-along chorus, especially on "Don't Let Go", "Photograph" and "Knockdown Drag Out". The album's first single, "Hash Pipe", kicks off with a bass-heavy, 70s-sounding metal riff, while "Island in the Sun" is as summery as its title suggests. At just over 30-minutes long, The Green Album may leave some listeners feeling a little cheated, but overall, this is a gem of an album, small yet perfectly formed. It is also a worthy return for a band whose influence is undeniable, if under appreciated. --Robert Burrow

5.0 out of 5 stars Fantastic! I haven't bought an album this good for months!!, 12 Jul 2001
By A Customer
This being the only album by Weezer that I have heard, I have nothing to compare it to - but I think it really is amazing. It's a feelgood album with some fantastic songs, including the single Hash Pipe which has you nodding along to your walkman looking like a complete fool! Photograph, Crab and Knock-down Drag-out would all also make brilliant singles. Weezer are a great rock-band with their own definitive character, but (I know this sounds strange...) many of their songs are much like the Beatles' - the simple, catchy tunes and lovely harmonies in Island in the Sun and Smile are very similar to songs by the Fab Four. All in all, this is a great album without a single disappointment on it - BUY IT NOW!!!

5.0 out of 5 stars lean, mean, green, 5 Mar 2005
This album came out a whole 5 years after their widely lauded sophomore album 'Pinkerton' and some fans felt cheated. It's only 30 mins long! Where are the emo lyrics? Where's the gritty production? Instead, with the Green album, River Cuomo produced a masterclass lesson in melodic fuzz-pop. Cementing his position as the greatest melody writer since Paul McCartney, The Green album gives us 11 songs, each one as infectious as the next. Personally, I think Blue and Pinkerton are the better albums- just- but this effort showed a new side to a complex and genius songwriting talent and its catchiness won a whole new set of fans.

3.0 out of 5 stars Comeback album of the decade?................ No chance, 9 Jul 2003
For me Weezer are the perfect pop-punk band, they play pop-punk the way it should be played, combining the power pop melodicism of Big Star and The Cars with the fast - paced attack of punk and the quirky sense of humour shared by bands like They Might be Giants and Devo. There first album 'Weezer' was brimming with infectious melodies and spawned the massive crossover hit 'Buddy Holly', the album that followed, 'Pinkerton' was a different affair completely, filled with angry punk numbers reeking of self - loathing and dissatisfaction at fame. And so we come to ' Green Album' - the initial signs looked promising with the incessantly catchy single 'Hash Pipe' whose lyrics concerned itself with the subject of male prostitution being released prior to the album. Even the cover of the album suggested a return to the glorious melodies of their debut with the band members donning it like they had on their debut, were Weezer back to show pretenders to the geek rock throne like Wheatus how it should be done?

So does the ' Green Album' hit the heady heights of 'Weezer'?.................... The answer is sometimes.

The singles ' Hash Pipe' and 'Island in the Sun' would nestle perfectly alongside pop gems such as 'Buddy Holly' and 'Undone ( The Sweater Song)' and every song on the album strives to continue in this melodic vein. Other choice cuts include the breezy guitar crunchers ' Don't Let Go' and ' Photograph'.

There is nothing wrong with the 'Green album' per-se, every song is well crafted and jaunty but also very DULL. As the album progresses you begin to wish for some of the caustic punk anger that made 'Pinkerton' such a daring and honest album but instead we get track after track of bland, inoffensive summer sing-alongs.

If it wasn't for the majesticness of the two singles ' Hash Pipe' and ' Island In The Sun' the album would be knocked down to a two-star rating but like the Stone Temple Pilots debut 'Core' an average album is saved somewhat by the genius of two songs.
