Editorial Review:
Album Description:
Weezer - one of the biggest and most influential bands of the last decade will for the third time in its six-album history release a self-titled album. The new album will hit streets on June 24 through DGC/Interscope Records. To distinguish it from the other eponymous albums it's being referred by people as "The Red Album." Comprised of sessions produced by Rick Rubin, Jacknife Lee and the band itself, the album is adventurous and undeniable Weezer pop-rock.
The first single, the quirky and catchy "Pork and Beans," was recorded under the watch of the Irishman Lee and will soon be a Weezer classic.
Amazon.co.uk:
Early word on the sixth album from Weezer--and their third self-titled record, although fans, sensibly, are referring to it as "The Red Album"--is that this is their experimental record. Luckily, Rivers Cuomo isn’t interested in penning his own jazz odyssey; for him, experimental is just finding cunning ways to nuance Weezer’s stock-in-trade--crunchy, candy-sweet guitars and vocal harmonies--with new pop tricks. The sardonic lyric of "Pork and Beans" hints at a new direction: "Timabaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts," Cuomo sings, "maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art". Actually, Timbaland’s not on board, but producer Jacknife Lee brings a variety of drum machines and electronics, and Weezer rise to the challenge with some generally inspired messing around. "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Theme)" sees Cuomo adopt a gangsta rap slur over screaming sirens, while elsewhere, the other three Weezer members take a turn at the microphone. But it’s Cuomo’s songs that are the winners--notably "Heart Songs", a tribute to the songs that "never feel wrong" that swoops from melodic schmaltz to grunge scuzz with a deft invocation of Nirvana. Skip to the bonus tracks, meanwhile, for a great cover of "The Weight" that takes The Band’s original and drenches it in chundering guitars. --Louis Pattison

This album is so far from what Weezer used to be.
I like four songs out of the 16 on the album: Pork & Beans, King, Troublemaker, and Everybody Get Dangerous.
That's ridiculous. There are covers of other songs, such as "The Weight". Rivers has a couple raps. Parts of "Pig" sound suspiciously like they're straight out of Bohemian Rhapsody. And then they have others, like "Automatic" and "Thought I knew" that don't even sound like Weezer songs.
They've ... Read More

I've always been interested in Weezer, I mean, a bunch of nerdy white guys singing songs about being nerds, and love. It's great fun. But, Weezer have released several albums up to this point, some of them excellent, some not, and the initial interest is starting to wear off. I'm not so interested in them just because of what they look, and sound like, and it's getting to the point where they actually need to write a good batch of songs to keep my interest. Saying Blue Album is Weezer's best and Maladroit ... Read More

Given the schizophrenic character of the Red Album, I can definitely understand why this album is getting heaped with both golden praise and vicious scorn, but I think neither are particularly deserved.
From a Weezer perspective, this is a very weird, and presumably transitional, album full of both hits and misses. Unlike their previous albums there is no overarching feel to the record. Let's face it, you can tell a Pinkerton song or Green Album song just by the sound of it, and the same goes ... Read More

It is another year and the influential band known as Weezer releases another color coded album, this time we have red. The colored albums are more similiar to each other than any of the bands other releases. We have the familiar pop/rock craft from Rivers & company, only this time it is more experimental and not as straight ahead. Is that a good thing though? Well, with "The Greatest Man that ever Lived" it shows experimentation can go a long way, on other tracks it is more of a strike than a homerun. ... Read More

It's been since 2005's Make Believe that we've gotten music from the LA faves Weezer and now they return with another self-titled release this one referred to as The Red Album. We had the Blue Album and The Green Album in the past which I loved and underground alternative rock fans loved as well. So after Make Believe it seemed the band was dying down and due to comments made by the band and singer Rivers Cuomo in interviews, I wasn't sure if they were going to remain together or go off with their own side ...
