At first, Weezer caught some flack from the Web when they released the cover of their upcoming album (dropping June 3) because it's a little, well, weird. Like, just weird-weird. Now there are a bunch of songs from the the album available for a listen and again, it seems like fans are nervous. Perhaps it's because aside from one of the tracks ("Pork and Beans") there doesn't seem to be a tune that is of the same quality of "Say It Ain't So" or "Island in the Sun".
I'm alright with one of the tracks, "Heart Songs" although there are about a billion references to everyone from Bruce Springstein to Quiet Riot to Debbie Gibson. "Dreamin" is OK, too, and is more Weezer-ish.
To check out some of the songs for yourself and to tell me if I'm just being too nostalgic for the Weezer of old, read more.

I love me some weezer and I'm glad that they're not sticking with the tried and true. I don't believe as artists they can consider themselves as truely accomplished if they stick with one recipe. They're still the same ol' weezer they're just trying to find the next right thing for them.
did I even make any sense?
