Weezer Weezer (The Red Album) (CD)

Description: Further DetailsTitle: Weezer (The Red Album)Condition: NewFormat: CDDescription: AMAZON Early word on the sixth album from Weezer--and their third self-titled record, although fans, sensibly, are referring to it as 'The Red Album'--is that this is their 'experimental' record. Luckily, Rivers Cuomo isnt interested in penning his own jazz odyssey; for him, experimental is just finding cunning ways to nuance Weezers stock-in-trade--crunchy, candy-sweet guitars and vocal harmonies--with new pop tricks. The sardonic lyric of "Pork and Beans" hints at a new direction: "Timabaland knows the way to reach the top of the charts," Cuomo sings, "maybe if I work with him I can perfect the art". Actually, Timbalands not on board, but producer Jacknife Lee brings a variety of drum machines and electronics, and Weezer rise to the challenge with some generally inspired messing around. "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived (Variations on a Shaker Theme)" sees Cuomo adopt a gangsta rap slur over screaming sirens, while elsewhere, the other three Weezer members take a turn at the microphone. But its Cuomos songs that are the winners--notably "Heart Songs", a tribute to the songs that "never feel wrong" that swoops from melodic schmaltz to grunge scuzz with a deft invocation of Nirvana. Skip to the bonus tracks, meanwhile, for a great cover of "The Weight" that takes The Bands original and drenches it in chundering guitars. --Louis PattisonGenre: Indie & AlternativeArtist: WeezerNo Of Discs: 1Record Label: UniversalEAN: 0602517744950 Missing Information?Please contact us if any details are missing and where possible we will add the information to our listing.
