This "green album," produced by Ric Ocasek, is actually the second untitled album for the Los Angeles band, not to be confused with 1994's "blue album." The album is the band's first since leader Rivers Cuomo's graduation from Harvard -- in fact, it is their first since their 1996 sophomore effort, 'Pinkerton,' which alienated some fans with a shift toward an angrier sound.

Benjamin T gave it an8:
it was a good album. it was a change from the blue album and pinkerton. but i like it. no song is bad on this album, and some songs are just pure awesome. one thing a didnt really like about the album is alot ( almost all) guitar solos were the product of duplicating the melody of the chorus. but overall, a good album
Jazza gave it a2:
Absolute garbage, the most agonising half hour of my life. (I actually thought it could get better)
mated gave it a10:
of course, you can't compare Weezers Green Album to their prior work. TGA is a beautiful Pop Album with fantastic melodies and a sing-a-long feeling.
Homie BB gave it a10:
this is weezers best album
[Anonymous] gave it an8:
10 swift pop tracks that fly by and stick with you. Short, but almost every second is great. The blue album is slightly better, though.
danny s gave it a10:
good
Jonas gave it a2:
Oh, this album makes me so sad. What have you done Weezer? What have you done Rivers? The songs are so shallow and lacking of depth, while in comparison to Pinkerton and Blue. But this..this..thing, I cannot begin to believe was made by the same artist. Why?! I am sad that Weezer will never be the same again. I give 2 for Island in the sun, Hash Pipe is okay too, but I also give points because I once loved Weezer. Now they are gone.
