   Well not much I can say here...it's a Greatest Hits album by one of the most overplayed radio air band ever. Now don't get me wrong if I was making their money I guess I'd be a whore for more like they are doing here but really...if I wanted to listen to ANY of theses songs other then "Word Forward" (mainly cause my local hasn't gotten around to radio spamming it like they have "Wheels") I only have to turn the radio to one of 5 stations and wait approx 15 mins and I'll get my hit of Foo. Nuff Said.


J-Dubbya's Album Pick: "Word Forward" mainly cause David cusses and I haven't had it drilled into my skull just yet.

     Weezer really breaks it down with this album. While I've been a big fan of their previous releases I think this record breaks out of their cult following status more so then the previous albums. Breaking down a couple of tracks take "I'm Your Daddy" <--- I got a feeling this may just be the next single for radio airplay, good 80's sound may have a comeback with this one. "The Girl Got Hot" reminds me of a feel good high-schooler song like "Hash Pipe" with more of an anthem feel to it. "Can't Stop Partying" reminds me too much like a Hollywood Undead song for my liking (minus the cursing). "Love is the Answer" sounds a bit like a new-age alt-rock song from the 90's with a bit of punjab thrown in for good fun but still catchy and melodic. "Let it all Hang Out" has got some easy rifs and a bit of electric guitar and is definately a good background noise drinking song.

J-Dubbya's Pick of the Album: "Turn Me Round"   I don't know what it is about this song but it all just comes together for me, this song is gonna make a good slam-dance song can't wait to hear it live this December.
