Just make another foxboro hot tubs record already, leave Green Day out of this
The trilogy deserves a remaster even if its just an albums worth of songs. Lazy bones and Oh Love are some of the better songs from this era. Wild One is my absolute favorite trilogy song so I love seeing it get the treatment it deserves, the screeching guitars sound great.

Lazy Bones 8/10

This is Weezer's Best album, fight me. Ok Pinkerton and Blue might be more consistently better but this album is just such an easy listen. This album proved that Weezer still had it in them to be great and not just a one off fluke with ewbaite. This album can make you feel like your on Santa Monica pier on a nice summer day in the middle of winter.

This Should've Been their Debut. This is a near perfect album and was my introduction to the band. They included the best songs off their first album and improved upon them with the Peel sessions, I only wish they had include I Don't Owe You anything on this album as its my personal favorite from the debut. Filling out the rest of the record are singles and b sides that are equally good if not better than the returning songs.

Great modern punk album with excellent production, the drums are punchy the bass is thick and the guitars are perfectly loud without drowning out the vocals which are stellar. American River is an amazing opener with great drumming followed by Methatonin that starts off strong but can be a bit repetitive towards the end. vixen is a solid song but not a stand out compared to the rest of the album. B.F.F. is a catchy melody throughout, Nerve is probably my favorite song even with its somewhat ... read more
Not something I can imagine myself returning to very often but its good for what it is.

This is my quintessential quarantine record. The cheezy new wave sound and wacky lyrics was exactly what was needed at the time, not another Revolution Radio to course correct Father of All. There was no better time for The Network to make their long awaited resurgence. The year was 2020 (The Year of their first records title) fans suspected Green Days Father of All to be a joke and thought it was a cover for some bigger project, lockdowns held up tours and everyone was stuck at home, and it ... read more
It's not as bad as people make it out to be. Is the artwork bad? ABSOLUTELY. Was the marketing cringeworthy? Yes. Is the production terrible? Well.. kinda, the hand claps are trash and the added sound affects are not great (especially on Stab You In the Heart) and the vocals are weird, on the other hand however I love how clean and flashy the guitars feel and the deep bass that fit the aesthetic of the album.
On first listen the album is pretty jarring considering the bands previous output, ... read more
Solid debut with a sound that will be perfected in albums to come. Though not as polished as their later work this record has plenty of great heavy hitting tracks with raw emotional vocals. While I wouldn't recommend this album as an introduction to the band it has some of their best songs and is worth taking a listen.

Possibly the most influential album of the 2000's Inspiring thousands of bands to date, Is This It is a phenomenal debut record and arguably the bands apex. Theraw vocals and unpolihed instrumentation add to the charm of this album which is lost on later releases Great tracklist with no filler even the weaker songs are stiil great. Unlike many other albums the hit singles don't suffer from being overplayed and are some of the best tracks on the album.

Solid debut EP that draws heavy inspiration from The Smiths/Morrissey with great crooning vox, nice jangly guitars and clean production. The first song is the weakest resembling a late career Morrissey track. Impressively Average sounds like a nice fusion of The Strokes and The Smiths with nice punchy drums. EddIe My Love is by far the best song on the EP with the strongest Smiths sound reminiscent of Heaven Knows I'm Miserable Now. You are only made of dreams is a nice elvis sounding ... read more
Saw these guys open up at a show and they rocked. This is a great post punk garage EP that deserves to be checked out. The best song Is Manhattan Youth hands down, it has such a Infectious drum beat and a jumpy chorus that KILLS live. Arthur and My Honesty are solid tracks with great atmospheric guitars. Kids and Ohm are good but go on a little too long, the later half of ohm has alot of potential the beggining just seams to drag a little bit

This Album was on HEAVY rotation while I was in High school and these songs still sound fresh today. Their self titled debut is a quick easy listen with such a cute jangly sound, clean production and some thoughtful lyrics throughout.

One of the best debuts of all time and one of the best power pop albums ever made. The emotion in Say It Ain't So hits me every time. No One Else is such a stupid song with some of Weezers most pathetic lyrics yet it is one of the best on the album, its such a fun happy sounding song. Only In Dreams is the perfect closer for the album and is arguably Weezer's magnum opus.

This album sounds like the trajectory the band should've taken after 2016’s Revolution Radio, following up on that sound while retaining some of the elements found on 2020’s father of all. Despite having an average runtime it feels bloated, the album is extremely front loaded and would have benefited from a shorter tracklist similar to Father of All.
Two of the worst songs on the album are The American Dream is Killing Me and Coma City, they sound like watered down B-sides to 21st ... read more
This album starts off on an amazing 4 song run but the tracks following feel unpolished,The album ends on a high note tho with one of the best tracks on the album.
