Someone please explain to me why this channel dosent have 10x the amount of subscribers/viewers that it deserves. A hidden gem.

It's hardbreaking how the media and most of the fan destroyed weezer back in 96. Imagine if weezer got the support they deserved and continue the momentum from pinkerton. They would have been revolutionary. Maybe even more than radiohead. Sad.

Pinkerton has the best cover art for an album by far, in my opinion.

"Falling For You" is my favorite on this album by far.

Pinkerton is a great collection of songs to be treasured. My favorite record of theirs until Everything will be alright in the end almost 20 years later. Also they are great live

Rivers actually married Japanese Kyoko Ito who quite literally at the time was "across the sea"... They met at a show in Japan in '97 Makes me smile to think of it that way, like she took him out of some misery post-Pinkerton

did anyone else facepalm so hard they died when he didn't understand the pink triangle in San Francisco? lol

Hey man, I just wanted to let you know before your channel blows up that your videos are fucking great. I can tell you put a lot of thought into your channel and strive to make your reviews as informative as possible. Not to mention the production values are top notch. Keep up the excellent content!

I personally adore Falling For You, and ultimately it is the most complicated chord wise on the album. My wife and I actually have a line from the song engraved on both our wedding rings. Easily my favourite weezer album overall.

I've loved this album from first listen, close to its release date. I thought the world was crazy for not loving it. So raw. I'm glad the world came around...

man I really want to listen to pinkerton. The vinyl release from vinyl please is gorgeous! Off Topic I was playing Buddy Holly and my dad asked who this band was and I said Weezer, he told me he never heard of them. I said dad you own The Green Album. He then said what other albums are there. I listed a few and he said: Man whats there deal with colors. I sighed. Man my dads a fool but I love him

"Falling For You" is my favorite song on Pinkerton and my favorite Weezer song. I honestly believe the "holy sweet, goddamn, you left your cello in the basement" part is the best bridge ever made.

Falling For You is simplistic? It is by far the most complicated song musically on Pinkerton coupled with the ironic lyrics "little old 3 chord me"

This channel is one of my life time favorites and deserves one thousand times more subscribers, and I can't get enough! Keep up the good work.

Excellent review Eric. This one was truly a labor of love and I can tell you put a lot of time into it. You got far more into the history then I was aware of which was really cool. I learned a few new things about the album.

Please review The Queen Is Dead by The Smiths.

I just found this channel and wow wow wow i love it youre so classy and a wonderful reviewer

I just listened to this album and it blew my mind. I totally agree that the good life' progression sounds like layla

This album is one of my favorites by Weezer.

Excellent video! Thank you for doing Pinkerton. Have you done Loveless by My Bloody Valentine? That album would fit in so well here.

Just found your vids. Love them. Looking forward to more!

I wish they would have included a bigger version of the map.

YES, been hoping for this video for ages

I remember playing Across the Sea at like 15, maybe a week or so after I rediscovered Pinkerton, and my mom walking up the stairs right as he sings "I wonder how you decorate your room" and having to mad dash to the volume so she wouldn't hear Rivers singing "I wonder how you touch yourself and curse myself for being across the sea"--Listening to that song as a teenager was like hearing it for the first time, it was one of the first times I heard something so brazenly sexual in a song. And I wasn't expecting it!

Man i love your reviews and you are so awesome!

Awesome man! So much stuff I didnt know yet. Keep it up bro.

Yes! One of my favorite records ever. You put so much effort into your videos you deserve 5 million subs at least.

I've been waiting for this one, thanks for reviewing this!

Never knew about this "songs from the black hole" idea and now im bummed they didn't go with that

You have a Casey Kasem vibe that is REALLY working for me

Loved this. One of my favorite records! Thanks for making this video.

2:50 *CDs in a nutshell*

Hey man, great videos. The presentation and the vibe are right on. Plus you don't come off as a music snob, just somebody who enjoys a good album but also knows what they're talking about at the same time! Keep it up! Subbed!

The album looks really cool aesthetically - may be worth a listen all the way through. Here's one for you to consider - "Hyaena" by Siouxsie and the Banshees, as this was during the time Robert Smith from the Cure joined Siouxsie!

Pinkerton completely changed my life when it came out. It still gives me goose bumps.

When it first came out I skimmed through it at the record store to see what it sounded like. I was expecting The Blue Album part 2 and what I heard was unapologetically, raw, unproduced sounding with all sorts of feedback which threw me off. I didn't give it a chance and I never really heard much radio play or attention for that record so I gave up on Weezer until their next attempt which didn't come for a quite some time. it wasn't until years later that I give it a real chance and now love and appreciate the masterpiece it is. in retrospect I think Weezer came out with his album way too early in their career, fans just weren't ready for the transition from hook based pop rock to something so artful so quickly. It took Radiohead several albums to get to OK Computer, The Beatles to get to Sergeant Pepper and the Beach Boys to get to Pet sounds.

Great video!

I remember listening to pinkerton, and boy, it was amazing!! Its beautiful and brilliant, cuomo is not a shtty songwriter but he’s a genius.

I bought in 1996, loved it but then they vanished I never knew why - evil Rolling Stone mag

I really dig your presentation here! I thought about getting this release, but I skipped it since I have it on CD twice (Original and Deluxe).

I just discovered you and I'm appalled you don't have more subs. Well done video bruh :3

What record player do you use? Also, love the weezer content!

> San Francisco > "I don't know what that pink triangle was about."

Dude the style of this video from the curved edges to the environment is just killer!

My favourite Weezer album, a masterpiece! Bought it when it came out, never heard about the bad reviews here in Portugal. Gonna see them live for the 2nd time this July.

Dude I just watched your blue album review and now Pinkerton and I'm about to watch the siamese dream review. Sounds like we have the same taste. I own all those on vinyl. I have a pretty decent collection. I started collecting in college. Where are you from?

Great vid

Loveley video!

Cool video ! even tough unfortunately i can't get into Weezer i enjoyed your review and i might have another listen soon to Pinkerton. How come you're not worried by youtube copyrights when you play songs ? (wich is really nice)

such a great album! you should do a review of the new white album

One of the only albums I love EVERY song on. Pretty rare for an album to be jam packed with all bangers.

TO CETCHOO UH HUH

First video I watched of yours clicked on it because I’m along time weezer fan and I think I’ll stick around

I loved Pinkerton from day one. Was also puzzled why they didn't initially.

Dammit, I love Falling For You, haha. Oh well. Glad I've found a fair amount of appreciation for this amazing album.

favorite album video on my birthday. huh

I remember in July of 2018, I was at a Weezer concert in Chicago and Rivers rode past me on a razor scooter. Best first concert ever.

ya, this is my favorite weezer album by far and away, i have the mfsl, i don't mind their stripe lol. the art does look a little nice on that one though

I'm the dude who asked you if you could do this on twitter! Thank you so much!

Thoughts on post Pinkerton weezer? ... ps love your videos man!

Bought it on release day (Huge Fan) loved it. I actually picked up 3 more copies as christmas gifts later on. This has always been my favorite Weezer album.

It was the year 1996 and I had never heard of Weezer. I was in the electronics department of Target and the video for the song the good life was playing. I was hooked on the chorus and bought the CD Pinkerton.

What is the song that plays during "The Verdict" transition?

Im definitely late to the party for this album but i got really into after hearing the good life on the watchdogs soundtrack.

Falling for you: one of the most complex songs Weezer has written Vinyl rewind: “it’s a little too simplistic for my taste” Lmao

when I saw Weezer in 2018 Rivers saw how we reacted to a tracking said you seem like a Pinkerton crowd and changed the playlist.

Should do Maladroit. That's one of my favorites

Pinkerton has been a huge part of my love life and had played a part in making some of my best memories. I remember second semester of last school year, I made a little meme where I change the lyrics to the third verse of The Good Life to "excuse me if I JUUL," and it had since become an inside joke in my friend group. A few of those friends and I went to see Weezer in August, and coincidentally, they played "The Good Life" as their encore. About the love life thing: I bought Pinkerton on vinyl for my now ex-girlfriend, and the girl I'm currently involved with and I listen to my cd copy that I keep in my truck all the time. That girl just so happens to be one of the friends I went to the concert with, though neither of us realized our feelings for each other at that time. Funny how things work out.

Best tracks are No Other One and Pink Triangle, sadly i can relate to both

This is my second favorite album with Kid A on number 1 and revolver on number 3

What is the intro song?

Dude, your comments about Why Bother shaping your high school romance views is like, the exact same thing with me...

This album received zero airplay in the 90’s in my hometown. I discovered it later on and think it’s outstanding.

You should tackle Spiderland by Slint. It seems like it would be up your alley.

Somewhere down the line can you do a review of ''Their Satanic Majesties Request'' by The Rolling Stones?

This is my favorite album of all time especially Butterfly

Pinkerton is their best album

Would you mind reviewing The White Stripes Icky Thump album

TY

Falling for you isnt simplistic it has a lot of creative chord changes

Thanks for including the greatest segue between songs....ever . Pink Triangle on to Falling for you . I disagree that its the weakest song - I consider it one of their greatest songs ever. Maybe you'll do a Rolling stone and reconsider , years from now :)

Great video

Where can I find the 4lp version?

I feel like No Other One is more of a slow 6/8, based on the emphasis pattern (every 6 seem to be stronger than every 3). Not very important but just an observation

Pinkerton is the Vincent Van Gogh of albums

Woah, dude, great video, I love it, but Falling For You is one of the most complex weezer songs; it uses every note.

5:53 cetchoo

You should review the white album vinyl release

How does this compare to the more accessible and less expensive dmm version?

I remember reading about how butterfly was inspired by a one night stand rivers had in japan while they were on tour which is probably a contributing factor in his fascination with the character of Pinkerton.

Have you reviewed Weezer's 2014 album Everything Will Be Alright In The End? I thought that was a great album.

Always loved this album - got it the day it came out - I think their best. Great history lesson on the album. If you never have heard Matt Sharp's "Return of the Rentals" by The Rentals, that album is almost a bookend to this one in Moog-drenched pop optimism. I'm not sure if you know, but the Pink Triangle is a symbol for gay unity, which soon kind of gave away to the all-encompassing gay pride rainbow (though still can be seen).

Would love to see you cover The Beatles White Album

You should make a review and give your thoughts on Trout Mask Replica. It would be very interesting to see.

What dyu think of Weezer's new white album?

Do Return of the Rentals

Probably my second favorite album of all time

You definitely need to do something w Fantano

Whoa I just looked at the subscribers and I’m shocked, how does this channel have a couple million subscribers?
