Weezer (The Blue Album) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Weezer, commonly referred to as "The Blue Album," is the debut album by the band Weezer, released May 10, 1994. Weezer is also the name of their 2001 "comeback" album, better known as The Green Album. This album was also re-released and repackaged in 2004 as a "Deluxe Edition" which included a second disc of B-sides and other rarities that the band had yet to release on an officially released album. en.wikipedia.org /wiki/Weezer_(The_Blue_Album)   (860 words)

Compare Prices and Read Reviews on Weezer (1994) - Weezer at Epinions.com Weezer is made up of lead man Rivers Cuomo, drummer Pat Wilson, guitarist Brian Bell (from 1992-1994 it was Jason Cropper, who plays in My Name Is Jonas and worked on earlier demos off the Blue Album), and at the time, bassist Matt Sharp. The Blue Album is mellow, Pinkerton is dark and emotional, The Green Album is happy, and Maladroit is a mixture of all three with a happy vibe yet rockin' hard at the same time. Weezer is a rock band which reminds you of classic rock, but has a newer sound and vibe to it. www.epinions.com /content_74705309316   (1169 words)

LTVNews.com In 1994 Weezer hit the music scene with their self-titled first album, or as it is more commonly known, The Blue Album. However over time, the album has become praised as one of the best albums of the 90's while Weezer fans have debated furiously over whether The Blue Album or Pinkerton was the best Weezer album. Overall the album is a good one with a return to a traditional sound for Weezer for the most part, and once again great lyrics from Rivers Cuomo. home.pacbell.net /wepeel/weezer101/press_files/ltv.htm   (531 words)

MUSE gives a teaser of new Weezer album - The Daily Free Press - Muse It’s no secret that Weezer is the most well known of the geek/retro rock bands, and an extended period of time between albums and somewhat cheesier lyrics don’t do much to tarnish their popularity or what they represent. Whereas the blue album is filled with satirical, self-mocking lines about playing Dungeons & Dragons in garages and listening to Kiss, and dumping girls who lie and wear too much make-up, their new material lacks that unassuming edge. Weezer released “Hashpipe,” their first new single, on April 15, and while this particular song is not typical Weezer, it does not fall short of what they are obviously quite capable of doing. www.dailyfreepress.com /media/paper87/news/2001/05/02/Muse/Muse-Gives.A.Teaser.Of.New.Weezer.Album-75861.shtml   (615 words)

EvilSponge: Album: Weezer (green album) by Weezer The fact of the matter is that the uncanny similarities of Weezer's blue and green albums don't end at packaging. In fact, the similarities between this album and 1994's blue album are so readily apparent as to beg the question of self-reflexive irony, or at least self-reflexive identification. Secondly, the green album lacks the subtle flourishes that catch the listener by surprise on the blue album: the melancholy plucked arpeggios that open that album's first track, My Name Is Jonas; the intricate counter melodies of The World Has Turned and Left Me Here; the pre-emo standard bearer Undone -- The Sweater Song. www.evilsponge.org /albums/Weezer__GreenAlbum.htm   (1025 words)

Weezer: Weezer (Blue Album) [Deluxe Edition] - PopMatters Music Review Apart from the catchiness of the album, what keeps The Blue Album from the dust-covered used bins of nostalgia hell is that it tightropes the line between irony and sincerity, which makes it both accessible and enduring. The Blue Album bears the stamp of heavy Pixies fandom, which it mostly uses to its advantage. The longevity of this album is due to the fact that it's both fun and meaningful, and that it came at a time when most pop music was neither. www.popmatters.com /music/reviews/w/weezer-bluedeluxe2.shtml   (938 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Weezer [Deluxe Edition]: Music Also known as 'The Blue Album', this release is seen as oneof the most important debuts in the college rock/indie scene of America in the early 1990's. Weezer's follow up album, 'Pinkerton', has grown on me over the years but I don't think they've captured the essence of this debut since. All I can say is "thank god for weezer!" they show on this deluxe edition of thier 1994 debut album that there are still bands out there that can make classic albums. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B0001JXQEM   (1446 words)

Weezer (The Blue Album) deluxe edition While we're speaking of the 2nd Weezer album (which we hopefully won't be for much longer) and its single Hash Pipe, the band must've been on something pretty strong to think that the 2nd self titled was smart. Weezer's guitar riffs aren't particularly innovative, though there is certainly some interesting plucking on the album (Check out the intro to Jonas and most of Surf Wax America). Nothing was wrong with that until they released their album Weezer. blackoblivion.com /webdesigning/weezerblue.htm   (691 words)

Splendid: Departments: The Essential Albums Despite its bareness, it is the album's most textured track: the way his voice cracks; the way we hear his fingers plucking the strings and thumping the wood; the gut-punch of almost-whispered lines like "If I'm a dog then you're a bitch." It is a testament to getting the maximum out of minimalism. Weezer's second album was a purging, a catharsis wrapped in austere Japanese art. When it was flung back in his face after the 1996 album's release and disappointing performance, "This is beginning to hurt" may have taken on a new dimension for the complex frontman. www.splendidezine.com /departments/essential/ea110104.html   (1188 words)

The Music Box: Weezer - Weezer (The Blue Album) [Deluxe Edition] and Video Capture Device: Treasures from the Vault 1991-2002 [Album and DVD Review] When Weezer emerged from California obscurity to release its self-titled debut (forever known as the Blue Album) in 1994, the foursome made a unique impact on the musical landscape. For the more casual listener, the best tracks on the bonus disc are the few acoustic versions of hits from the Blue Album, all of which showcase the songwriting abilities and voice of bandleader Rivers Cuomo. Weezer owes a lot of its success to the groundbreaking and clever music videos that helped propel many of its songs to mega-hit status. www.musicbox-online.com /wz-blue.html   (606 words)

Weezer: Weezer (Green Album): Pitchfork Review The new self-titled Weezer album, as it turns out, is average from beginning to end. I went back to "the blue album," this time understanding the intricacies of the sound-- what makes the songs so warm and effective. They opened musical doors for me. This album is not that Weezer. www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/w/weezer/weezer-green.shtml   (814 words)

MTV.com: Weezer Are The Most Important Band Of The Last 10 Years And it was this geekiness, combined with the accessibility of The Blue Album — which has little profanity and few angry moments — that made Weezer nonthreatening and appealing to younger listeners, and also what helped to develop such a strong bond between the band and its fans. That week, Weezer's self-titled debut album (affectionately known as The Blue Album) had been out for nearly six months and was languishing at #84 on the Billboard albums chart. When The Blue Album peaked at #16 on the Billboard chart back in January 1995, the #1 album in the country was Garth Brooks' Hits. www.mtv.com /bands/w/weezer/news_feature_102504   (1523 words)

BBC - Rock & Alt Review - Weezer, Weezer - The Blue Album (Delux Edition) The blue album is in my opinion the best weezer album due to it having 'only in dreams', their powerfullest song and an awesome tribute to rock itself. the delux album is ten times better than the original album although the blue album is 10outof10, mykel and carli is beautiful and melodic,so was jamie,susanne(your all that i need in a girl) im rambling ive just so much to say they are the best band in the world. i have anxiously been awaiting their new album and the deluxe edition of the blue album was the perfect thing to keep me occupied while waiting for the new one. www.bbc.co.uk /music/rockandalt/reviews/weezer_blue.shtml   (2005 words)

Weezer: Make Believe: Pitchfork Review Weezer have been given a lot of breaks in their second era-- both The Green Album and Maladroit were cut miles of slack despite consisting of little more than slightly above-average power-pop. Considering Weezer supposedly went through hundreds of songs and several discarded albums to arrive at this final product, the laziness of this songwriting borders on the offensive. Often, these albums are bombarded with website tomatoes for reasons you can't necessarily hear through speakers: the band changes their sound and image to court a new crossover audience, perhaps, or attempts a mid-career shift into ill-advised territory. www.pitchforkmedia.com /record-reviews/w/weezer/make-believe.shtml   (734 words)

Weezer — “Weezer (The Blue Album) Deluxe Edition” (printable version) That Weezer’s record company issued a two-disc version of the band’s 1994 debut is testament of the album’s strength and endurance 10 years later. The album stands well on its own, and is actually better without the bonus disc of a few outtakes, live and demo versions of previously released music. Weezer took advantage of the new acceptance of loud, distorted guitars, added a pop sheen and goofy, sometimes self-conscious lyrics. www.rgj.com /news/printstory.php?id=71214   (252 words)

Amazon.com: Weezer - Deluxe Edition: Music: Weezer Weezer's infamous self-titled debut (otherwise known as "The Blue Album") is one of the few pieces of music from it's time that still holds up just as well today. When Weezer released the Blue Album back in 1994, Geffen only shipped 13 000 copies because they thought the album wouldn't be a big seller since almost no publicity was made for it. Not only is The Weezer Blue Album one of the best albums ever recorded, the deluxe edition offers even more to the whole package. www.amazon.com /exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001JXQEM?v=glance   (2233 words)

DVD Talk Forum - New Weezer! The Blue Album Deluxe Edition The Deluxe Blue Album will be a 2 disc set that includes the blue album and a disc with all the b-sides and a selection of rare and very rare tracks, plus a big fat booklet with lots of stuff to read and tons of pix, many never before seen." Thats right, The DVD and the Deluxe Blue Album are coming out on the same day. Maybe they put the alternate mix on the album side and dumped the original album cut onto the second disc. www.dvdtalk.com /forum/printthread.php?t=343989   (456 words)

Weezer's cool. Cool like gravy The Blue Album, the first album by Weezer, is much less angry though than the followup album: PINKERTON. At the time of the release of The Blue Album in 1994, each band member was in their mid-20's but the songs reflect the awkwardness of the teenage years told through the eyes of your average "Geek Rocker"....and that's why I connected to the album on such a personal level. Not that I'm a geek or anything, but this is the ultimate album for a teenager living in the 1990's (even though I myself wasn't a teenager in the 90's, I didn't discover The Blue Album until 2001 when I was 13). funkdiggityfresh.com /review129.html   (466 words)

Tyler's Wheels Of all the albums where I can remember their original release, I'm willing to argue with anybody that this is the best and for certain parts of my generation, it is the album that defines them (along with the second weezer album pinkerton). Although a lot Weezer fans don't share my view that this is their best album, I don't care because it is impossible for anybody else to understand how these songs are intertwined with memories from 1994-5. Fortunately, they were more than a one-hit-wonder and I discovered that the Blue Album was packed with nine other amazing songs, each with its own unique sound, theme, story and musical traces to the great influences of Dylan, The Beach Boys, The Beatles, Kiss and Holly himself. trainscona.tripod.com /b1.htm   (444 words)

That's Molly to you: Weezer - Blue Album Deluxe Edition Those guys formed Weezer, and the group’s self-titled album (known today as The Blue Album because of its background color) made a mark on music history that is yet to be duplicated. Weezer has certainly had its share of difficulties over the years, ranging from typical rock band problems like departing members to more obscure issues, like Cuomo’s leg-lengthening surgery, return to Harvard and reclusive state that led to the group’s sophomore release, Pinkerton. The group released another self-titled album in 2001 (known as The Green Album), which boasted a few hit singles but generally met with apathy among Weezer’s biggest fans. miss_taken.blogs.com /molly/2004/04/weezer_blue_alb.html   (846 words)

Good-Evil Weezer - Blue Album The blue album easily stands in one of the best rock albums of all time, and shall go down as a classic. Ten long years ago (May 1994), a little band by the name of Weezer hit the scene with an album full of rock songs with pop flavorings. Somehow at my young age of ten years, I knew that this would be a good album, so I spent my hard earned allowance on an album that has guided me through life perhaps moreso than any other album. www.good-evil.net /reviews/music/weezerbluealbum.htm   (299 words)

IGN: Weezer (The Blue Album) Review And while Pinkerton is held by many to be their best record, nothing comes close to the simple brilliance of the original Weezer album (aka The Blue Album). April 16, 2004- Weezer is one of those rare bands that haven't yet recorded a bad album. The thing that makes Weezer great is their honesty. music.ign.com /articles/507/507218p1.html   (695 words)

Weezer "Blue Album (deluxe edition)" The band’s eponymous record (dubbed the Blue Album) has now been repackaged with a collection of rarities and extensive liner notes about each song. Appearing amidst an onslaught of crappy copycat grunge bands, Weezer’s debut CD could easily have been swept into the indie rock cutout bin leaving rock fans with little hope in the dreary world of 1994. Luckily, that never happened and Weezer became one of the '90s most unlikely rock sensations. lifeinabungalo.com /dwrecordreviews/2004/june/6-8-04/weezer.htm   (300 words)

Punknews.org Weezer - The Blue Album And personally I think the Blue Album was very creative, and catchy...and I do have to say it is their best. This is Weezer when it is writing it's best lyrics, although it's not my favorite song on the album. What really makes this one of my favorite songs in the album is the finale to this song, where Rivers sings, "The workers are going home", building the momentum each time he says it. www.punknews.org /reviews.php?op=albumreview&id=1250   (4024 words)

Splendid Magazine reviews Weezer: Blue Album Deluxe Edition Two pre-production demos of Blue Album songs that didn't make the cut ("Lullaby for Wayne", "I Swear it's True") will please fans; they're gruff, under-rehearsed, and a little too open, but all the more delightful to lo-fi junkies for it. The main course here is the remastered album (which of course is almost completely impossible to distinguish from the original), but the thin excuse comes in the form of a second disc that packs fourteen B-sides, oddities and remixes. Certain albums are so satisfying that you need only the thinnest excuse to revisit them, and this mostly brilliant, only-slightly-vapid nugget of guitar pop is one of them. www.splendidezine.com /review.html?reviewid=108463695326743   (390 words)

Amazon.co.uk: Blue Album: Music The Blue Album is the seventh and supposedly final album by one of dance music's most enduring pioneers. This album has litle variation in the tracks; which are of inferior quality when compared with previous orbital tunes, stick with their earlier stuff unless you are a diehard fan. Orbital (brother's Paul and Phil Hartnoll) released this (their seventh album) with the announcement that it would be the last in their fifteen year career. www.amazon.co.uk /exec/obidos/ASIN/B00029KZMM   (1182 words)
