The real light is when you realize some of their music after Pinkerton is actually really good too. A lot of people on this forum are still in the dark on that part tho
@gaporter you could probably gather their best post-pinkerton songs into one helluva greatest hits compilation. They haven’t made a transcendent album though since. Which is fine. Most bands would kill to create 2 amazing albums over their career. They just happen to do it at the beginning.
Also, any of you listen to Pavement? When Weezer arrived on the scene many thought of Weezer as a more mainstream version of Pavement. It’s an easy band to get into if you are already a Weezer fan.
