Weezer Album: “Weezer (Green Album) [Japan Bonus Tracks]”

=W=!!! they've done it again. there are many reviews for the US release of this album, so I'll only do the 2 new tracks. In case you're wondering, the new tracks are:

11. The Christmas Song 12. I Do

Weezer fans will recognize the christmas song from L.A.'s KROQ 1999 Kevin & Bean Christmas Album: The Real Slim Santa. Personally, it's one of my favorite weezer songs, a slow melodic one about... take a guess... lonliness on christmas eve. I Do is one of the B-Sides that didn't make it to the U.S. release of the Green Album. It's a nice quiet finish to a great album, almost reminds me of Butterfly at the end of Pinkerton, a slow almost acoustic song about devotion and love.

If you're a =W= hardcore fan, you probably won't mind paying extra. Or you could go out the cheap way and download the new songs. I hope you'll give weezer their due and buy it but most people are reluctant i'm sure. If you do download the songs, try downloading the original full US release. It includes the 10 songs on the CD, plus

11. Starlight 12. O Lisa 13. Teenage Victory Song 14. I Do

No doubt these songs will pop up on =w= singles and EPs later on.

Peace out.

First a confession: I think Weezer is great. I was waiting all this time for the next cd..going stir crazy if you can believe it. It payed off. The latest release from Weezer is exactly what one would expect from the rockers who brought you "Pink Triangle" and the sweater song. The cd starts strong and continues the course in typical Weezer fashion. I could sit and review each song, what a bore that would be, yet it isn't needed. Buy the CD and listen to it a few times. Then I dare you to say you hated it. In fact I invite you to write a bad review about it. Though I know you will love it as I did.
