That's probably true. I still think it's a horrible song. But it's definitely interesting, something I can't say for any Weezer song I've heard since some of Maladroit.
Also, Green album is HORRIBLE! I know a lot of people tend to say "hmm, it's not that bad...." But I think it might be their worst (though Hash Pipe rules), and that's saying a lot. Every song sounds EXACTLY THE SAME (aside from Hash Pipe). I mean, what an amazingly horrible record -- OHHH, A GUITAR SOLO THAT FOLLOWS THE VERSE MELODY IDENTICALLY ON EVERY SINGLE SONG. I mean, and that was their 3rd album, and they've done, like, 8 or 9 now?! I mean, jesus!.. I think Maladroit was their last grasp.. like, okay, now that we're selling a billion albums a second again, let's try one more somewhat creative album (and, no, it's not THAT creative, but it's leagues more interesting than Green). It failed so that's why they've done more absolute garbage.
Anyway, even though I like a few of their songs (espcially Pinkerton........'s b-sides.. Devotion, especially!), Weezer have always been something of a joke band. Epic songs about sweaters, Happy Days "appearances", their stupid album covers, etc. For some reason, people took it all seriously and Rivers was called "the daddy of emo" (which is wrong) and "the greatest songwriter in the world" (because he can string together power chords in an uninteresting fashion?). I think they pretty much are still the same band, but their lyrics are just a little bit more embarassing. Or maybe their fans just grew up?
