    "Pink Triangle" is a great track that would fit on the Blue Album, Weezer's pop-rock opus. However, the rest of this album lacks anything worth listening too.

    An album with subject matter that comes off as quite immature (Pink Triangle, El Scorcho, Across the Sea) Technically speaking the lyrics are some of the worst I’ve heard, particularly on Across the Sea. Some redeeming moments with butterfly and the instrumental for Pink Triangle.

    Pinkerton still stands tall as a modern rock classic. [6 Nov 2010, p.51]

    Ultimately, the legacy Pinkerton leaves behind is it being one of the most emotional and raw albums ever made. It's an album that many can relate to, even if you're not on the same level of crazy as Rivers was back then.

    This is their Holy Bible--in other words this is an unknown quantity alright; it's Weezer's raw, emotive bastard child; and a great, brilliant, titanic blot on an often pristinely laundered back catalogue. For that reason in particular this is a thing to be cherished.
