Reviews
"Feedback duels with adroit finger-picking; galloping punk pastiches break for bridges that genuflect in the church of Brian Wilson." - Grade: A, 7 (out of 10) - "...four nerds from upstate Connecticut who can make a brilliantly genial, melodic noise, riddled with jokey allusions to the staple parts of the American musical myth...", "This Deluxe Edition Is Often more Sonically Varied than the Original."-Rating: B, 4 Stars - Excellent - "...this is a loud, well-crafted, AOR-friendly, classic pop-rock given a left-of-centre twist by Rivers Cuomo's mildy eccentric world view...", Included in AP's "Essential Punk Influences '02 Style" - "...Their debut's power pop is brainy yet deceptively simple, a sort of AOR rallying cry made by geeks for geeks.", "...Weezer's Rivers Cuomo is great at sketching vignettes...and with sweet inspiration...his songs easily ingratiate.", "...college-radio-friendly... anti-cool quartet strums solid pop melodies with singsongy, anthem-like choruses, peppered with grunge fuzz that at first seems strangely at odds with its self-deprecating lyrics..." - Rating: B
