  It&apos;s so weird that el scorcho wasn&apos;t an instant classic in my opinion, it&apos;s one of the more radio friendly songs on the album, like the good life

  This album captures the feeling of &quot;being scared of becoming a rock star&quot; perfectly. A feeling an emerging artist feels only once

  I think what makes the album so great is it’s rawness. Its drums are TOTALLY blown out and distorted as shown in Tired Of Sex and Rivers feels so truthful and is actually giving his all. You can tell throughout the entire record that Rivers, Brian, Matt, and Pat are all giving it their all. It sucks that the entire album was hard panned called terrible and one of the worst albums of 1996 but luckily these recent years its been praised as a, as your video states, a total fucking masterpiece. Rivers and the band have also happily been playing it more and more and liking it more and more. Pinkerton is by one of Weezer best albums of all time and the album will always be one of my favorites.

  I&apos;ll just add, I&apos;ve been rejected by a Lesbian before and that song immediately turned from laughable but good to full on relatable depression level. Never had any other song do that to me before.

  When you start talking about falling for you I got overly emotional and started tearing up. This album means more to me than even I thought I did

  Is it just me or does Pinkerton feel more like their first album? I&apos;m not a huge weezer fan, but do like them. And always thought I was their first record.

  I first got into Pinkerton in my early teenage edgy years. It became my favorite album. Now as a 27 year old I relate to it more than ever (besides Pink Triangle, haven&apos;t had that happen yet). I&apos;ve listened to it 4 times this week. <br><br>I&apos;ve also been listening to Operation Space Opera&apos;s Songs From The Black Hole. Makes me wonder what things would be like if we how SFTBH from Weezer instead, but I&apos;m glad we got Pinkerton. <br><br>Would be interesting if you did a song by song breakdown of SFTBH too though!<br><br>Almost every song on Pinkerton is a top 20 Weezer song for me, it&apos;s incredible. I still get goosebumps during Across the Sea and El Scorcho.
