Band: WEEZER
Who: The veteran nerd
rockers from Los Angeles.
Album: WEEZER
Their 4th self-titled one decorated with symbols,
think Led Zeppelin‘s 4th longplayer. The record
is already dubbed The Gold Album.
Rolling Stone: “Weezer’s Gold is, in fact, Weezer gold.”
Pitchfork says: “Spurred on by producer Kenneth Blume, Weezer get
back in a room together to write rock songs that wallow, reminisce, and,
very occasionally, wow.”
TUTV: Mixed critical verdicts. Weezer is one of these bands that goes back to
their (very) old recipe, to their fan-pleasing formula, over and over again, but
forget regularly, to write enough top-tier tunes to fill a full record. As usual,
the singles are catchy and fun, but the rest is mediocre for a band of their
calibre. No, I’m not impressed.
