New Weezer Album
The new Weezer album comes out tomorrow. I'm listening to it now, for free (and legal) at http://www.myspace.com/weezer. They released the album a little early for fans to listen to before they buy it.
My thoughts? It's okay. It's no Blue or Pinkerton or Green. I like it better than Maladroit, though. Some REALLY good songs but a couple that I could've done without. I'll be buying this CD though, that's for sure.
I'd like to hear what you guys think, if you get a chance to listen.

If you could create a CD of your favorite 12 Weezer songs, what would they be? I know Weezer's singles and have heard their more popular albums, but I like their music and would like to hear more.
Wow, that's really hard, because I'd have a hard time NOT picking a song from the blue album and thats 10 songs right there. I'll go listen to a bunch of Weezer today and post back here.
Okay this was really tough and asked on any different day the list would probably be different. But as of right now, this is the list that I have settled on. Just to let you know, leaving off No One Else was REALLY tough for me to do.
I have at least one song from each of the 4 albums I have. I haven't gotten or listened to the newest album enough yet to actually pick any favorites from it.
I also cheated a bit, because I combined two songs into one, as the two songs run together on the CD. If strict interpertation of the rules is required, I'd drop Falling for You
My List:
From Blue:
My Name is Jonas
Undone (The Sweater Song)
Surf Wax America
Say it Ain't So
In The Garage
From Pinkerton:
Tired of Sex
The Good Life
El Scorcho
Pink Triangle/Falling For You
From Green:
Don't Let Go
Island in the Sun
From Maladroit:
Slob
I think it's pretty diverse and has different styles of Weezer. I do know, however, that If I could only have 12 Weezer songs on an island, I'd be pretty happy with this list.
Rob's also going to post his list, and I'm curious to see what he picks. He knows Weezer a lot more than I do.
ok, this was really hard for me. In the end I picked 12 from the first 4 CD's but then added some from Make Believe and 2 non-album songs. I feel that it is a great example of the diversity that Weezer has. For the most part, I tried to not include songs that were played on the radio. Hash Pipe is still there just because it's so different from anything else on the green album.
