Weezer Blue Album

Description

Product description Fun-lovin’ 1995 debut album featuring “Buddy Holly” ;
“Undone” and “Say It Ain’t So”…CLASSIC!!! 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
