Pinkerton is a mess. It's a relentless, obstreperous deluge of distorted guitars and high-hat cymbals. Compared to the crisp, clean-cut pop of [[Weezer's]] [[Blue|eponymous debut]], Pinkerton is a madman's demo tape. The band most certainly had not delivered more of the same -- when "the same" was precisely what everybody wanted. So it's easy to see why music-criticism-circa-[[1996]] regarded it with derision and a parade of inimical condemnations. But now we know better. | Pinkerton is a mess.

Sometimes it's an obligation to sit down and take inventory of all the mistakes you've made in life. At least, with Pinkerton, you can do it with a sympathetic, if a little neurotic, friend. | Sometimes it's an obligation to sit down and take inventory of all the mistakes you've made in life.
