Weezer - Pinkerton

I've decided to mix up my daily downloads between new or at least recent albums, and old albums. Some of the older albums will be ones that i have at one stage owned but have since been borrowed, stolen, lost, or eaten. Some will be albums that i've always meant to listen to but never had and finally some will be albums that i know cover to cover but have never had in my personal collection. "Pinkerton" is one of these. I've always been a fan of weezer, and much like 'silversun pickups' they have their own sound which they've stuck with through half a dozen records. You probably either get it or you don't. Weezer have had a number of what could loosely be called 'hits'. "buddy holly", "sweater song" but i'm sure many people went out and bought the album based on the hit and didn't really get the rest. Not that there is much to get. It's just simple distorted guitars, pleasant and well crafted harmonies and a bit of occasional thrash. But it can wear thin if you're not a fan. "Pinkerton" was book-ended by the more commercially succesful 'Blue' and 'Green' Albums but has possibly their best song in "El Scorcho". I've kind of struggled with their most recent stuff. Maybe i'm not getting it anymore??
