...I'll eat my Weezer with the Pork and Beans...

"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."
