That Weezer song is terrific. If you are inclined to like Weezer, it's terrific.

I am inclined to like Weezer, but I still think Rivers gets in his own way - or maybe I'm inclined to like some of Weezer's tendencies and dislike some of the others. Never really liked his Sweater-Song voice, while I do like his Good-Life voice a lot. When I think about it, maybe "Sweater Song" foreshadows what I call the "dorkboy" voice. (Or maybe someone else foreshadows it much more. I haven't given thought to the foreshadowing until this second.) But with the tune and harmonies, "Pork And Beans" should have been a slam dunk and so far it's only borderline for me.

Sarcasm aside, I'm pretty happy to love a Weezer song when I can -- happier still to be interested in checking out one of their recent albums in full.

It's completely terrible. Musically, lyrically, the lot. Also I clearly don't hang around enough on YouTube to 'get' the video.

Don't Like Any it is then, although the Jonas Bros song is tolerable. Good luck to 'em.
