This is the third self titled album distinguishable from the others by it's red color. This band from Cali continues what they started in their first endeaver, laying poppy tracks lined with Indie flair and connection. There seems to be no limit to their attempts to offer what is some times apsurdity rock wrapped in technical and believable musical compositions.

The real gift of Weezer is their willingness to have fun while they speak openly about thoughts, trends, sins, and life. For me this is perfectly pictured in their fourth track on the album, "Heart Songs." These jovial and catchy tunes are coupled on this album with some more melodic and driven tracks like "The Angel and the One", showing that they can be serious and seriously emotion driven.

Weezer does have an "every so often" trend of being crude, but it it is done with honesty and is contextual to their album. For Weezer fans, this one is a return to the beginning, which is welcomed news.
