By all logic, [[Weezer’s]] musical pileups should end up in a drawer somewhere. [[Rivers Cuomo]] — the maladjusted, misanthropic mind behind the band — scribbles muddled diatribes about life and love’s utter futility, and splatters the lyrics against a wall of classic-rock quotations. He then adds more disorder via vocal parts that suggest a crazed postal worker doing a [[Beatles]] tribute. But somehow, Cuomo turns the jumble into chart-topping cheddar. After a few career bumps, the nasty little fella has ascended to the throne previously held by improbables such as Joey Ramone, Elvis Costello and old [[Buddy Holly]] himself: He’s this era’s model of a most unlikely rock star. | By all logic, [[Weezer’s]] musical pileups should end up in a drawer somewhere.
