Featured Article

Do my eyes deceive me? Is Pinkerton finally a featured article? Yay! My hard work paid off! cowbellcity45 talk 18:55, 6 November 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Half Japanese

"It has been rumored that the first verse of "El Scorcho" contains references to the band Half Japanese." I have never heard of this rumor. I highly doubt this is a reference to this band. The song goes "goddamn you half japanese girls, do it to me every time." Just judging from that. I can safely guess it has nothing to do with the band Half Japanese. I'm removing it.

I'd like to change "Rolling Stone's readers" to "Rolling Stone's barking stupid readers" ... but instead I'll just note that here. -- Twang 4 Jan 07

Trivia

I'm going to integrate the miscellanea section per WP:TRIVIA --AW 21:24, 9 January 2007 (UTC)[reply]

NPOV

Though most of Pinkerton's songs are in major keys, the album sounds abrasive. The drums are loud in the mix and highly compressed, the bass overdriven, the guitars heavily processed - often to the point that the leads sound like chainsaws. Additionally, Cuomo often shout-sings urgently and seems to push his vocal range to its upper limits. Some of the songs shift keys, tonalities, dynamics and tempos suddenly, adding to the sonic turbulence. The vocals on the album were recorded by the band as a group around three microphones.

With the exception of the last two sentences, this whole paragraph sounds like a huge violation of WP:NPOV. I've deleted it for now (yes, all of it; can't think of a good way to reincorporate those orphaned final sentences); if anyone else can rewrite it, that'd be much appreciated.

Weezer chronology

Weezer chronology in the info-box needs updating.

Why, what's wrong with it? -Joltman 11:49, 30 May 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Critical failure

Not really a fan of Weezer, but four out of six professional reviews featured rate this album with a perfect score, and two others gave it 7.5/10 and 6/10. That's impressive enough, I think. Why is it called a 'critical failure'? Commercial failure maybe, but critical? -- Fractious Jell (talk) 23:15, 20 March 2008 (UTC)[reply]
