not since 1994(blue) or some will say 1996(pinkerton) has weezer put out a cd this good. it is full of many songs that just elate you to think that weezer has finally come to a place in their music wher it has taken melody, lyrics and guitars from the blue album and progressed them into what is now a musically mature weezer. the cd starts off with the first single of this cd with beverly hills, this song is just ok compared to the rest of the album. with songs like "hold me" make me question the spiritual influence of the band. "I am.You are taller than a mountain.Deeper than the sea.You are. Hold me.Hold me.Take me with you 'cause I'm lonely.
I was closer to you back then.I was happier." great lyrics that probably are talking about a girl but i dont care. i know what is taller than a mountain and deeper than the sea. then in "peace" where they say quite often "i need to find some peace." the cd is also complimented by perfect situation, my best friend, freak me out. there is also a harmonica sighting in "haunt you everyday."
this cd is searching. searching for peace, a friend, possibly a lover. but also for purpose, direction, desire i am thankful that the weezer i knew in jr high and high school is finally back with make believe, making great music. i say thank you weezer. your fans are very appreciative.
next blog i will address the new song jesusland by ben folds
