    It's hardbreaking how the media and most of the fan destroyed weezer back in 96. Imagine if weezer got the support they deserved and continue the momentum from pinkerton. They would have been revolutionary. Maybe even more than radiohead. Sad.

      Weezer fans always loved it. Always. It was the mainstream casual fans and critics who didn't "get it". Rivers has acknowledged that weezer fans always loved it, and that he should have let them down by refusing to engage with the record out of a misplaced embaressment.

      Nah. I think Rivers is an emotional writer. He's happier these days than back then. Unless his actual life was different, I think he'd stay the same route.

      @VinylRewind  8 ปีที่แล้ว +31

      as I've stated already, maybe simplistic isn't the right word choice, but it doesn't move me anywhere. It just feels like it keeps going around in a circle. And the chorus isn't as strong as others on the album. The guitar solo is the best part for me

    I remember playing Across the Sea at like 15, maybe a week or so after I rediscovered Pinkerton, and my mom walking up the stairs right as he sings "I wonder how you decorate your room" and having to mad dash to the volume so she wouldn't hear Rivers singing "I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea"--Listening to that song as a teenager was like hearing it for the first time, it was one of the first times I heard something so brazenly sexual in a song. And I wasn't expecting it!

    @fuzzytabby4304 4 ปีที่แล้ว +4

    When it first came out I skimmed through it at the record store to see what it sounded like. I was expecting The Blue Album part 2 and what I heard was unapologetically, raw, unproduced sounding with all sorts of feedback which threw me off. I didn't give it a chance and I never really heard much radio play or attention for that record so I gave up on Weezer until their next attempt which didn't come for a quite some time. it wasn't until years later that I give it a real chance and now love and appreciate the masterpiece it is. in retrospect I think Weezer came out with his album way too early in their career, fans just weren't ready for the transition from hook based pop rock to something so artful so quickly. It took Radiohead several albums to get to OK Computer, The Beatles to get to Sergeant Pepper and the Beach Boys to get to Pet sounds.

    Pinkerton has been a huge part of my love life and had played a part in making some of my best memories. I remember second semester of last school year, I made a little meme where I change the lyrics to the third verse of The Good Life to "excuse me if I JUUL," and it had since become an inside joke in my friend group. A few of those friends and I went to see Weezer in August, and coincidentally, they played "The Good Life" as their encore. About the love life thing: I bought Pinkerton on vinyl for my now ex-girlfriend, and the girl I'm currently involved with and I listen to my cd copy that I keep in my truck all the time. That girl just so happens to be one of the friends I went to the concert with, though neither of us realized our feelings for each other at that time. Funny how things work out.

    Always loved this album - got it the day it came out - I think their best. Great history lesson on the album. If you never have heard Matt Sharp's "Return of the Rentals" by The Rentals, that album is almost a bookend to this one in Moog-drenched pop optimism. I'm not sure if you know, but the Pink Triangle is a symbol for gay unity, which soon kind of gave away to the all-encompassing gay pride rainbow (though still can be seen).

    I remember reading about how butterfly was inspired by a one night stand rivers had in japan while they were on tour which is probably a contributing factor in his fascination with the character of Pinkerton.

    • @VinylRewind
      @VinylRewind  8 ปีที่แล้ว

      interesting, I know in general, he say parallels between his rock star life and Pinkerton

      +Vinyl Rewind hey thanks for replying! Great video as usual and a great excuse for me to revisit this masterpiece. I haven't been listening to it these past couple years but it's still as amazing as ever. curious to know what you thought of their new record unless you're planning on covering it in a vinyl of the week ;)?

    You should tackle Spiderland by Slint. It seems like it would be up your alley.

    Cool video ! even tough unfortunately i can't get into Weezer i enjoyed your review and i might have another listen soon to Pinkerton.
    How come you're not worried by youtube copyrights when you play songs ? (wich is really nice)

    • @VinylRewind
      @VinylRewind  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I only play short snippets that refer to my reivew and I don't talk over them. So technically, it falls under fair use. Also, the TH-cam copyright bots don't flag me when I keep the clips short. Before I would play way too much of the music and also use it as a soundtrack over action, which fails under copyright infringement

    Thanks for including the greatest segue between songs....ever . Pink Triangle on to Falling for you . I disagree that its the weakest song - I consider it one of their greatest songs ever. Maybe you'll do a Rolling stone and reconsider , years from now :)

    Dude I just watched your blue album review and now Pinkerton and I'm about to watch the siamese dream review. Sounds like we have the same taste. I own all those on vinyl. I have a pretty decent collection. I started collecting in college. Where are you from?

    I have to disagree with you about Falling For You being simplistic. If I'm not mistaken, the song actually uses every guitar chord there is. Great video btw.

    • @VinylRewind
      @VinylRewind  8 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      maybe simplistic isn't the right word, I just feel it doesn't take me anywhere musically, unlike the other songs. thanks for stopping by

    Pink Triangle is a lesbian thing. It's a song about a man falling for a lesbian, that thinks he is gay. No bs to than. I don't listen to other music like Weezer, but this is still in my top 20 records of all time.

    • @VinylRewind
      @VinylRewind  8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      Yeah, that was my bad wording, I meant I never understood why that giant pink triangle was on the hill, but I knew what it represented. Interesting. what's your number one record?

    • @heffe8056
      @heffe8056 8 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      A pink triangle is a symbol of pride for lesbian/gay communities. San Francisco has a large lesbian/gay community so that's probably who/why the pink triangle was there.
