[[Weezer]] is a band cursed by its own greatness. After releasing ''[[Blue|Weezer]]'' ("the Blue Album") in [[1994]] and ''[[Pinkerton]]'' in [[1996]] - arguably two of the best alt-rock albums of the decade - Weezer culminated a five-year dry spell in what is widely regarded as a stumble. Two stumbles, in fact. Not that [[2001|2001's]] ''[[Green|Weezer]]'' ("the Green Album") and [[2002|2002's]] ''[[Maladroit]]'' aren't enjoyable records in their own particular idioms. Mentioning them in the same breath as ''Blue'' and ''Pink'', however… that's a little difficult to reconcile. And so Weezer have found themselves in the unenviable position of having to live up to… themselves. Does the group's fifth LP, three years in the making, meet the formidable expectations with which the fans have saddled it? | [[Weezer]] is a band cursed by its own greatness.
