Weezer - Weezer (Blue Album) (1994)

Reason for Listening:
I like the recent Weezer song "All My Favorite Songs" and figured I should listen to one of their albums. I decided to relisten to the blue album.

First listen.
I like the sound but I don't understand the lyrics ("My Name is Jonas")
I probably like "Undone" more than "Buddy Holly".
The setup for this song is too long. Or maybe it never gets to the punch.
--20210706--
Second listen.
Oh, I vaguely recall "My Name is Jonas" being a Guitar Hero song.
Move "The World Has Turned" from a "2" to a "1".
Move "Undone" to a "4".
--20210707--
Third listen.
Moved "Say It Ain't So" from a "2" to a "3".

4: "Undone - The Sweater Song";
3: "Buddy Holly"; "Say It Ain't So";
2: "In the Garage";
1: "My Name is Jonas"; "The World Has Turned And Left Me Here"; "Only in Dreams";
0: "No One Else"; "Surf Wax America"; "Holiday";

Summary:
In terms of albums, I believe I've only listened to the first four albums, after which I'm familiar with a handful of their singles. From that perspective, I would be biased to say that this first album contains some of their best. Then again, there might be some evidence this is true: four of the top ten most popular Weezer songs on Spotify come from this album (20210707). However, I don't feel compelled to give the album more than a 5.0.

Overall Rating: 5.0/5
Favorite Song: "Undone - The Sweater Song"
