...I'll eat my Weezer with the Pork and Beans..., April 23, 2008
Not too bad, honestly better than any track from the previous effort, "Make Believe".
It's catchy, quirky and undeniably Weezer. A much better choice for the lead-off single than "Beverly Hills" was. Part "Blue", Part "Pinkerton" - But it doesn't end there. They're treading on new ground too. Lines like "I ain't gonna wear the clothes you like / I'm finally dandy with the me inside / One look in the mirror and I'm tickled pink / I don't give a hoot about what you think" indicate the Rivers' may finally be moving on, as a person and coming out of his shell. Which I think is something that Weezer needed to stay relevant in the music scene.
I sit here salivating for more, and that's EXACTLY what a lead-off single should do to the listener. And I really cannot wait for the upcoming album, apparently the members have all taken turns on lead vocals (A first for the band - Pat Wilson takes over the mic on "Automatic"). And there will also be a "Deluxe Edition" featuring 4 bonus tracks.
