Reviews Customer Reviews for Weezer Blue Album      Fantastic and iconic power pop      Rating:      Luis Mejia - Weezer debut album is a perfect swing from a classic 90s' experience. When everyone was producing independent, underground, distorted garage-like rock, Weezer twisted this tiresome face of music with their melodic power pop, specially noticed due to the album's heavy guitar use; and yet it is simple and catchy. And rather than used-up rockers, the band's mood was fresh and innovating, with their classic-guy looks (some may say it's geeky, but the music is very distant from this) mixed with normal laid-back style gives off the band's unique and lovely personality. Songs like "Buddy Holly" "Undone-The Sweater Song" can stick into your memory very smoothly, and so both became later recognized icons in 90s' music, while the greatly arranged pieces, specially "My Name Is Jonas" and "Holiday", break the monotony and makes the album much more worthy and delightful. The band's honest sense of humor, chill-out mood, mixed with a non-usual power pop style makes Blue Album simply perfect; take it as you may, it always ends up being incredible. Even if you don't go far with Weezer from here, this is the album anyone can listen to in their repertory.     Customer Reviews for Weezer Blue Album Cd      "Blue Album" The Best Album Ever?      Rating:      Weezer's "Blue Album" could quite possibly the best indie rock album ever to be created. The albums begins with the song "My Name is Jonas", a mid tempo rock song with an extremely cathcy chorus. The album progresses from song to song with "heavy" guitar styles being incorporated into a rock setting. This album has romantic undertones, but it is absolutely not limited to power "love" songs. "Blue Album" also portrays life as a surbab teen, rocking out in your garage. There is even a tribute to rock and roll legend Buddy Holly. Overall, I rate this record "classic". It is a timeless record that will remain a "classic" more many years to come. Editorial Reviews for Weezer Blue Album Audio Cd      Amazon.com      There's a classic episode of The Little Rascals where one of the gang can't join everybody else on the ballfield because he has to stay home with his younger brother, who has the croup. "I can't come out and play," he whines. "I've got to stay home and grease Wheezer!" Nobody at Geffen Records knows whether this was the inspiration in naming Weezer, but it makes sense. Like many of their peers, the members of the Los Angeles quartet seem to have spent their formative years in front of the TV; when they were a little older, they were just as entranced by college rock. Finally, ala the Rascals, one of the gang said, "Hey, kids, let's put on a show!," and the result is Weezer's uplifting, unpretentious, and extremely endearing debut. The self-titled Weezer is lean and mean at 10 short, punchy tunes, but nearly every one is powered by a larger-than-life chorus or a simple but effective lyric. "Undone-The Sweater Song" uses an unraveling sweater as a metaphor for a relationship on the rocks; "Buddy Holly" pays heartfelt tribute to the '50s rocker, and "In the Garage" paints a scene of suburban teens jamming while surrounded by posters of Kiss. Producer Ric Ocasek of Cars fame pushes the vocals and rhythm guitars, and this bare-bones approach may earn comparisons to fellow garage-pop band Green Day. But Weezer has more in common with the late, lamented Big Dipper, another group of slacker wiseguys that you just had to love. --Jim DeRogatis
