Had a spare $10, and bought the CD at Target. Extremely fun to listen to. Not a big Weezer fan, but there are some catchy tunes here.

Henry L! thanks for the luv, man.

yea, I definitely think that a lot of critics and scorned fans are thirsty for some Weezer flavored Hatorade. I don’t see what the big deal is, though. It seems like all people can ever do is be negative and insult someone.

But, i also think that Rivers is actually just nuts (in a hilarious and lovable way). I mean, check out the aol sessions video of them playing “I’m Your Daddy,” with Kenny G soloing….

Clearly Rivers is a great musician. The question is whether he just wants to stir shit up, or stay in the lime light.

I honestly think this is the best review out.
There’s so much weezer bashing going on around the internet, i just can’t believe it. If all people ever heard was pinkerton over and over it would eventually wear out. Bands change. Music changes.

I’ve listened to all released weezer songs, own all their albums and honestly love every single one. Sure i dislike a few of the tracks on Red, and maybe one or two here and there, but i don’t really see the problem with the music they create.

Rivers is an amazing musician, who writes music how he wants, and if all these tough “internet critics” stopped being so stubborn about how weezer is changing, they might be able to understand what a great album this is.

Great tracks to look out for:
Put Me Back Together
The Underdogs
The Girl Got Hot
If You’re Wondering..

The album is catchy, quirky and fun.
Y’all better buy it.

I have been a huge Weezer fan since The Blue Album, and I agree that there new stuff doesnt sound the same, but I still love it. Its fun, well played, and has those amazing lyrics that get stuck in your head all day. Weezer’s music has changes alot, but so does everything over a 20 year period. I think people need to stop complaining that Blue and Pinkerton are’nt comming back and either learn to love their new stuff or just go listen to your old CDs.

i actually enjoy all of it minus 2-3 songs more than I ever expected to.

sure Weezer post ’00 is still a total WTF, but i can’t help but enjoy the hell out of a few of these songs (Put Me Back Together especially)

Good perspective. I think Ratitude is great CD and I agree “Run Over by A Truck” is a great song – in fact it’s my favorite. I saw them and wrote about their Halloween Hammerstein Ballroom performance. It’s unfortunate “Run Over By A Truck” wasn’t included on the set list.

I actually didn’t mind it. It’s not something I’m not likely to ever turn on again & I can’t really say I’ve listened to a few of the band’s previous CDs… but yeah, didn’t suck as much as I thought it would.

That’s a compliment, right?

As a recovering Weezer fan, this album sounds completely awful.
