For my money, “Butterfly” might very well be the best thing [[Rivers Cuomo’s]] ever done. I usually vacillate between this one and “[[Only in Dreams]]” as [[Weezer’s]] definitive moment (and sometimes the defiantly great ''[[Red]]'' era outtake “[[Pig]],” even), and at 8 minutes, “Dreams” has a bit of an inherent advantage — it is conspicuously epic, resoundingly conclusive, and masterfully beautiful. But “Butterfly” lacks only the first of those three descriptors, and might actually be better for it. As it sheds the the coarse, distorted cocoon of ''[[Pinkerton|Pinkerton‘s]]'' first 9 tracks to make its gentle skyward escape, “Butterfly” is a song that achieves everything its shouted, amplified, cathartically immature predecessors do with just one guy playing one guitar and singing one voice. At a bit under 3 minutes in length, “Butterfly” is approximately as long as the overwhelming finale of “Dreams,” and — just like “Dreams” — it can send waves of chills through my body the whole way through, if I’m in the mood to let it. | For my money, “Butterfly” might very well be the best thing [[Rivers Cuomo’s]] ever done.
