While reading I was thinking along the lines of, wow you’re being quite harsh to The Green Album… Then I realised upon taking time to review it myself that I questioned when do I actually listen to this album in full? The answer is NEVER! Congrats to myself for being judgemental before actually thinking about it on a logical sense. This is not my go to Weezer album at all…
“Hash Pipe” was the in to Weezer’s music for me as a pre-teen but then The Blue Album and Pinkerton overtook as I dove into their discography a bit more as I got older. I’ll admit to having a bit of a soft spot for “Island In The Sun” but purely for nostalgic reasons only. It’s NOT a song has made me lose my shit when hearing it live. That’s more so for “Say It Ain’t So” or “El Scorcho”.
With their entire discography, those first two albums are probably the only ones that are played in full whereas with the others I rather just pick and choose the odd song. I just find as much as I love Weezer they always have hits and misses with song which I accept!
Just like every Pinkerton fanboy ever. Hash Pipe is the only bad song on that album. Ironically enough, the only song in their entire catalog that is worse is Beverly Hills (yes, I know Pork and Beans exists). Make Believe is an underrated album because of it, but not nearly as underrated as the Green Album because the Blue Album and Pinkerton are flawless, and Weezer fans are pretentious douchebags. Suck on that grammatically incorrect run-on sentence, "rock" "journalist." ;)
This review sucks! Dude, the Green Album is what made me a Weezer fan! To this day it's still my favorite album of theirs and guess what? I HATE Pinkerton, and always have.
Give me Pacific Daydream and the new Van Weezer and I'm good to go.

P.S. Everyone knows Maladroit is still the worst Weezer album.
Your review is dogshit

"Don't Let Go" and "Simple Pages" deserve more credit.
How are you going to review this album and not note the identical, bland structure on practically each track, though? That's the unbearable part.
Intro
Verse 1
Chorus
Verse 2
Chorus
Verse 3 (ran out of lyrics, so the guitar plays the melody)
Chorus
End
It's hella redundant
This article reads like a third grader wrote it.
If you were hoping to get that interview with Cuomo still? NOT...
