When you throw the new [[Weezer]] disc into the player expecting the cute 60s-style geekpop that made their [[Blue|debut]] a worldwide success, you're going to be surprised. Shocked, maybe. The feeling still edges toward geeky pop, but [[Rivers Cuomo's]] apparently not feeling like himself these days. Not only is this record not a joyous blast of uplifting rock magic, it's a fuckin' downer at times! Cuomo needs to see a doctor about this depression thing.
