More on Weezer's <i>Red</i> album

5:50 p.m. · April 22, 2008 · by Matt Liebowitz

Weezer's given us a single, a tracklist, and now we've even got the cover -- so all that's left now before we devour their sixth -- and third self-titled, monochromatically schemed album -- is the waiting.  And, of course, the preemptive debating. Do the self-deprecating lyrics of the first single "Pork and Beans" -- with its catchy but ultimately hokey melody and not-very-filling chorus --bode well for a return to the 90's geek rock domination? Will they satiate us with the slick predictability of the Green album? Will Rivers and the crew make up for the atrocities of "Make Believe?"   Can Red be half as good as Blue?  Weigh in with your Weezer worries (moustache comments encouraged).
