Weezer's best album. They should have stopped after this, etc., etc. Personal history behind Pinkerton? At one point I thought this was the edgiest thing I'd ever heard (along with Kill 'Em All by Metallica). I was after all raised on America rather than The United States of America.
Remember the Green Day reference in "El Scorcho"? (I asked you to go to the Green Day concert / You said you never heard of them). Back then, my friends and I assumed Weezer and Green Day were bitter rivals. Those were days before the internet.
Pinkerton is solid. I like the album's detuned, dark, echo-ey sound (and is perhaps the reason why it stands out more than the "slicker" Blue Album).
