The "Red Album" is a bold, new direction for Weezer as Rivers Cuomo takes the backseat when it comes to writing and singing on a few tracks, letting the other members shine musically. And the other band members songs are not half bad!
This also marks one of the first times that Weezer has left guitar solos out as well. The sound is new and fresh with many songs that will get stuck in your head, including "Everybody Get Dangerous" and "The Greatest Man...".
It is worth getting the deluxe version and paying a few $ more for the extra four songs which are great, including "Pig" and "King."
