Super Awesome Old Review! (The Blue Album)

Every once and a while, I’m going to Post a review of somegthing old, like an 80’s or 90’s album or movie or game.  The first Album review will be of Weezer’s 1994 debut, Weezer, or, because they have three self-titled albums, The Blue Album, as the record cover is Blue.

Total Play time: 42 minutes  Itunes Price: $9.90

So…The Blue Album.  This is one of my favorite albums hands down.  At only ten songs, it’s a perfect number of songs.  42 minutes is a nice amount of time, and each song is a heartfelt rock out.  It starts with My Name Is Jonas, a little ditty about the Will Keeper, Jonas, and a great way to start the album.  No One Else is a love song that’s clean and awesome at the same time, and that’s hard to do in this day and age.  The World has turned is a little emo for my tastes, but a good song none the less.  Buddy Holly is considered by many to be the high point of the album, but I think that’s My Name is Jonas, but whatever.  The album is multilayered, and requires a few play-throughs to get used to.

LEGACY:

This is one of the best examples of 90’s rock, along side Nirvana’s Nevermind and Rage Against the Machine’s Evil Empire .  Only this album is up-lifting.  It’s also Been featured in Guitar Hero 3 and Rock Band, with My name is Jonas and Say it ain’t so respectivly.  It has been featured on many  “Best Albums Ever” lists. In 2004, Weezer released a Special Edition of the album, which included a bunch of rarities.  The Special Edition is avalible on iTunes for $20.

VERDICT:

If you do not own this album, buy it.  Now.
