"Weezer" is the tenth studio album from American rock band Weezer. With the band's tenth installment in their discography, Weezer really sticks to what made them popular in the first place. Songs like "California Kids" and "King Of The World" have the great alternative/punk sound that you'd expect from Weezer while the album simultaneously pumps out some of the best tracks the band has produced since Pinkerton. There is also a heavy Beach Boys influence on the album as the band pays homage to the California rock legends.
The album manages to be very consistent throughout. Song after song you get catchy hooks with an in your face attitude that Weezer is known for. "Weezer" brings you back to the 90's in many ways as we are privileged enough to get bombarded with nostalgia on this album. The nostalgia trip mixed in with the heavy Beach Boy influence works in perfect harmony as the concise guitar riffs keep you level throughout and the sleigh bells and ukuleles don't disappoint either. Not only is it consistent throughout, but I've found myself blasting the same few songs over and over again. "California Kids" and "King Of The World" in particular. I just can't get enough of the catchy vocal melodies and in you face riffs.
Final Summary:
I can't help but love this new album from Weezer. Weezer provides you with a mature album that is high on brownie points. They stick to their strengths on this one and Weezer brings you back to the glory days of the band in the mid 90's. If you are a fan of Weezer you can expect a prototypical album from the band but it seems like a huge breath of fresh air as the band tried to expand their horizons over the past ten years, in my opinion, to no avail. "Weezer" or "The White Album" is a confident effort by a band that knows their strengths and highlighted it greatly with an album they desperately needed.
Rating: 9.0/10
