So after posting last weeks piece on Weezer's Blue Album, I started talking about said album with my brother Evan. As I mention in the article, he's pretty much the whole reason I got into Weezer in the first place, so we were talking about it pretty passionately, and he made some points that I wanted to address separately from this weeks post.
The first and biggest point he made was that I didn't say anything about Say It Ain't So, AKA one of the funnest songs to sing along with. I dropped the ball on that because I was really tired, but that doesn't really make up for the fact that I completely forgot to mention it, which is just a criminal shame. Say It Ain't So is an awesome song, one of my all time favorites by them, and I feel like a chump for failing to make that clear earlier.
His second point was that I ALSO ignored Surf Wax America and My Name is Jonas, but that was deliberate. They're both good songs, but at that point I'd have pretty much written a point-by-point list of the album, which sounded much more time-intensive than what I felt like writing. So instead, let me just reiterate: The Blue Album is really good, and everyone should listen to it. Maybe memorize every song. It's a worthwhile time investment, I swear!
