Weezer (Blue Album) Exclusive Blue Color Vinyl

I'm not one of those Weezer bashers who seem to just automatically hate anything Weezer does, but I'm also not one of the fan(atic)s who seem to think that being a fan means loving everything they do.I've owned the regular release of Red Album since '08, the year that the album first came out, but I didn't have the Deluxe Edition until very recently. To be honest, I'm disappointed and even kind of miffed. I paid about 20 bucks (actually a little more, after shipping) for a copy that was deemed by the seller to be in "very good" condition. Well, the CD did seem to play fine, which is good (though I've only played it once), but not only was it in a condition that I definitely would NOT describe as "very good," the bonus tracks mostly sucked (in my opinion).I like most of the actual album; if I had to pick my two favorite tracks, they would probably be "Pork And Beans" and "Troublemaker." I think those are both fun tracks. ("Everybody Get Dangerous" is kind of fun, too.) I don't really care much for "The Greatest Man That Ever Lived" or "The Angel And The One" (although, given the choice of the two, I would go with the former one). To me, those tracks are too long, and I don't really care for the lyrics. I like "Dreamin'," but it's also longer than I think it really should be. I like the lyrics on it, though. I think it's cool that Rivers isn't the only one who sings lead on this album; on the second half of the album, other group members get turns, and they sound very good. If I were to review the regular release of the album (which I may still do), I would give it four stars. I think it's an overall worthwhile, if far from mind-blowing, album.The reason for my three-star rating for this Deluxe Edition is the bonus tracks --- well, three of them, anyway. (Since I've only played this CD once, I've only heard the four bonus songs once.) I kind of liked the first one, "Miss Sweeney." But the other three... ugh. I did actually kind of like "Pig" until it got to the "Now it's time for me to die" part. After that, I didn't (and don't) care for it anymore. "The Spider" is just WAY too long and slow and depressing for my taste. (What's with all the lower life forms on the brink of death?!) It seemed to go on and on and on. In fact, I couldn't even get to the end of it; I literally said (or maybe whispered with irritation) "F#@* THIS" and skipped to the last bonus track, "King"... not that it was too much better. It was kind of slow and had the length problem that "The Spider," as well as those three tracks from the album have.Although I did get one good track, "Miss Sweeney," that wasn't on the album, I wish I hadn't given out the $20+ for this CD, especially considering its condition. It's kind of cool to have the booklet with notes and lyrics for the songs, but still, really not worth it.I'm sure there are probably Weezer fans out there who love the whole album and all of the bonus tracks, and who will despise me for criticizing any of the tracks, but I definitely felt the need to express my feelings about my "experience" with this CD. To quote a much later Weezer song, "I'm just being honest."

Vinyl Quality is superb, clear, not too much Treble. Shipping via Prime, you'll usually always get it within 48-72 hours.This is Weezer's best album... I know the Blue and Pinkerton Eliteists are crying for my head.... But there are just too many catchy songs, plus take into consideration that this album probably inspired the entirety of the 2000's Pop Punk phenomenon. Weezer does powerchords the right way here and have never been able to catch what this album cought since.Take a break from the Blue album and give this another listen, the price makes it worth it.

Record came in just fine. Sounds nice still had the original wrapper on it. Record itself is pretty quality.

The record plays fine, but it's hard not to notice the wobble of the LP. Hard to tell if it's a shipping or manufacturing thing, but sure would be nice if you could rely on records arriving nice and flat.

Album came in brand new perfect condition!

Many Weezer fans are polarized by this one. I feel it's the only one I love from front to back. The vinyl version sounds excellent! Love it, love it, love it! Maladroit next! ;)

The songs on this album are great. A classic to consider adding to your collection. Vinyl sounds great, awesome soundstage and dynamics

Very happy with my purchase! Beautiful, Precise, Perfect vinyl pressing by great artists who continue making rock music. I’ve been a fan since I heard the Blue album when I was in 4th grade. Miss the 90s.

Great band, music and memories with my daughter. Arrived in perfect condition.

super

Wer das "blaue" Album kennt, den wird das grüne hier nicht überraschen. Es ist zwar das dritte Album von Weezer, kehrt aber nach dem sehr schrägen Zweitwerk "Pinkerton" zurück zum Ursprung: spaßig poppiger Rock. Es ist jedoch nicht so gut wie der Erstling. Und das, obwohl es die Hits "Island in the Sun" und "Hashpipe" enthält. Aber diese Lieder ragen umso stärker heraus, da die anderen Songs nicht das Durchschnitts-Niveau der "blauen" haben.Weiterhin ist die Spielzeit von nur 28 Minuten eine mittlere Frechheit.Zum Vinyl: alles top, gute Fertigungsqualität, gefütterte Hülle, MP3 Code als Beilage.

De hecho, el disco es muy bueno, muy buen sonido (al menos así lo escuché en mi equipo que creo es bastante bueno). Por lo que solo le doy 4 estrellas es que NO trae descarga digital (es la primera vez que me pasa con un vinilo de Weezer) y tampoco trae booklet o algo más que el disco y la caja. Sin embargo, fue buena compra (lo agarré barato, abajo de los 16 dls)
