How Pinkerton Defined Weezer

[@andresjrz99]

My condolences to all who have felt the same way Rivers felt in Pinkerton. That’s why Pinkerton became one of my all time favorites. Although it comes off as weird, it’s something so real and so relatable to a certain group of people. And those people are the ones who have grown so passionate about Pinkerton and Weezer. Mainstream media favors music without meaning, but Pinkerton was much more than that. I think it’s better to have an album that resonates deeply with a small group of people than have one that resonates with most people at at a shallow level.

[@andrewforsythe9783]

Beautifully put

[@beetooex]

The album I felt this way about was 'Daisies of the Galaxy' by the Eels.The one big hit off it was the least interesting to me even if it is a good tune.

[@awfulusername1465]

@balorama. I personally disagree with your opinion, I love Pinkerton

[@v.b.1702]

Only it didnt resonate with a small group only, i was in French loving it from day one, he says he had Japanese girls fans in his song, only the american critics were not having it it seems. This album alone, without the critics to kill it, would have TRAILBLAZED THE INDUSTRY. Tell them: Weezer, they all lied to u, the audience was there. Still is. Critics do notjing for the audience. NOT A GODDAMN THING besides driving the market. The end. Weezer, hear us out and DO YOU !!!

[@v.b.1702]

When was the last time the music industry ACTUALLY WORKED FOR US ? They shove instead of matching our expectations. They do them, pinkerton being A SCREAMING EXAMPLE of this bs we call the entertainment industry. Its a business like the dow jones, music is the product and safe sells are the ones that make big shots sleep at nite, even tho they went in for the risk as well. In other words: this industry ceased to represent us, AND THEM, JUST WHEN EXACTLY? Bcs it’s been a while now. Has it ever shot at representing the feeling of the crowd? Has it FREAKING ever ?? I mean besides SHOVING WHAT U THINK WE WANT or what is safe for u despite its emptiness FOR PROFIT ? Industry: i want to see u crash like the titanic and see all the artists FREE dancing on ur grave as they redefine artistry following their visions. One day..

This is the best Weezer breakdown video I have ever seen, 'Pinkerton' saved me from suicide when someone gave me a copy on my 25th birthday. (January second, 1997) I was planning to off myself after the party, that a friend had organized to 'cheer me up' luckily, as I was making my preparations and writing the note, I put 'Pinkerton' on the CD player.'Tired of sex' stopped me in my tracks, as I was getting about 3 different girls a week in my bed, but soon realized that I was simply a 'notch on their barrel' as I was a popular improv comic at the time (This is when living in South Africa) By the end of the album, which I had restarted and read the lyrics along with, my suicide note was tear-drenched and I went to bed instead. I never wrote that note again, booted the drugs and girls, and refocused my life. I had started my career as a serious actor and while not kicking comedy (Improv is very cathartic) I decided to tell my agent that she could only consider serious roles, or she was gone too! Around 16 months later, I was playing Macbeth, at the age of 26 to packed houses nightly. The newspaper reviews were good, but for me, the kicker was being approached by an elderly man, who introduced himself and told me that he was the head of the South African Shakespeare Appreciation society, he told me that what he had just witnessed was the best interpretation of any Shakespeare character that he had ever seen, in over sixty years of membership, he was actually in tears as he shook my hand and I soon was too! I kicked acting in the early 2000's with the industry destroying advent of reality television. But Weezer saved my life on that hot summers night (Southern Hemisphere) and I always give 'Pinkerton' a weekly listen for luck!

[@MastinoNapoletano420]

Pinkerton was about 10 years ahead of its time. It helped me through some tough times as I felt a lot like Cuomo at the time, I had torn ligaments in my knee, broken both ankles and my love life was in shambles, making scenarios in my head, so when I heard Pinkerton, I related a lot. It is still my favorite Weezer album and would be an album I would have on a deserted island...

[@suby_edits800]

@wayward_wyn It can go either way for me. I can appreciate how personal and awkward Pinkerton album. It wouldn’t have seen its future success without it and really captures teenage-hood well.

[@jninerz]

And it being recorded at SoundCity makes it a raw classic

[@TheNotoriousBIF]

When “Pinkerton” came out, a bunch of the kids at my children’s hospital were pretty excited to see the albums box art because we all had worn the brace Rivers wore. It’s called an Ilizarov External Fixator. I had to wear one on each leg for a year (my right leg for a year, then my left leg), they are pretty gnarly devices. They typically have four stainless steel rings that have two bicycle spoke sized pins that criss cross each other, going all the way through the bone and out the other side. The top and bottom rings typically have pencil sized mounting screws that go halfway through the bone. The stretching as it was referred to in this video is done by turning four “clickers” (called that because of the sound they make) that are attached to the two middle rings every six hours. The lightening is achieved by breaking the bone and pulling the healing bone apart a few millimeters every six hours. The bone heals, the clickers pull it apart, bone heals, the clickers pull it apart and prevent it from fully healing and “tricking” the healing process into growing new bone as oppose to just healing the fracture. It’s really to watch the changes happen over time. At first the two center rings will be an inch apart and after a year and change, the center rings will have pulled apart and end up an inch away from the top and bottom rings. The skin can grow up the pins and screws, so my Doctor made me and all their kids who have them do “Pin Care” twice a day. Pin Care involved ruling off all the bandages and scabs before cleaning the pin sites (wounds) with saline solution and a Q-Tip. They would make us stick the Q-Tips down in the wound and clean each and every pin. After the pins and screws were clean, it was time to bandage up. The pins were easy because you’d put a PAC-MAN shaped sponge over the wound at the base of the pin and sliding a piece of plastic down the pin and onto the sponge. The screws were cover with two criss crossing 2/2’s with a slit halfway through the middle. It took me two hours a day to do pin care and no more than three months after my second devise was taken off, my hospital changed how the handled pin care. They changed by not doing it at all. Ugh. Anyway… The Ilizarov design has been dramatically improved and now is called a Taylor Frame. It not only can lengthen limbs, it’s can now straighten bent and crooked bones.

I really enjoyed this video about it and still play the whole album through every time it comes up in my music rotation. It's a must that the album be listened to from start to finish for me. Many of the emotions it once tapped into have changed, but the power and influence it has on me when I'm listening to it hasn't diminished.

I remember excitedly buying this album as a kid, getting it home and learning that that band I fell in love with on Blue had CHANGED. And I LOVED it. It was grown-up and raw.

This was an album that defined my teenage years. I bought it in grade 8 and it was more emotionally raw than anything I had listened to before. Rock was getting pretty weird in 1996. R.E.M. also made an album that was also a bit leftfield. Smashing pumpkins were going electronica. Even Sheryl Crow was going emo with her second album. Rock was crumbling before my eyes and I didn't mind one bit because new exciting directions were the order of the day. Rock wouldn't be revived until 2001's the Strokes and the indie rock boom that followed.

[@hullabaloobird]

my best friend gave me Pinkerton as a gift for my 14th birthday in 1996, just three weeks after it was released. it was a total surprise, as i hadn't heard any songs off of it yet and didn't even know it existed. my parents had rented two movies for my sleep-over party and all of us kids got to pick which one we wanted to watch. i don't remember what the movies were, but i do remember being very adamantly against watching one of them. so, of course, that's the movie everyone else voted for. and even though it was my own party they insisted on watching it even though i didn't want to. i was pissed off, so i threw a bit of a stubborn tantrum and went to my room alone, where i sat in the dark and listened to Pinkerton for the very first time while all my friends watched the movie without me in the other room. i remember really liking "tired of sex" right away and pretty much hating the rest of the album. but since i didn't have anything else to do i listened to it on repeat several times in a row until the movie ended. it ended up growing on me after a few days and has been one of my all time favorite albums ever since.

if you listen to pinkerton from beginning to end it seems to be about relationships in general. the rock star is having lots of sex, then he's chasing a girl, then there's no other girl, then it's over again and he's like why bother, then he has a fantasy about a girl who seems like the one except she's too young and too far away, then he's feeling old and uncool, meets a half Japanese girl who turns out to be a lesbian but he hooks up with her anyway only to have that fail too then he's back to square 1. I have listened to this album from beginning to end a million times. I do remember not liking el scorch when it came out but somehow I ended up with the cd and it's my favorite weezer album now even though el scorch is my least favorite song on it.

I remember running away from my life and joining the Navy in the early 2000's. I ended up in a small town in Florida, coming from Philadelphia, leaving behind the love of my life, and embarking into the unknown. I felt utterly alone, and the soundtrack to my frustration and hopelessness was Pinkerton. It spoke to my soul, as I could feel the pain that went into making the album. I first heard the album in the second part of the 90s, when I was beginning puberty, and it spoke to me then too.

As much as I love certain individual songs on BLUE, I think that PINKERTON is a better album. It also was hugely influential for me as a teenager, and it has continued to become more relevant as I get closer to my 30s. The honesty and themes of alienation and failed relationships, nihilism and apathy, and the ending of sadness of "Butterfly" serve as the perfect soundtrack to a life scattered with the emotional turbulence and confusion of growing up and finding your own place in this world.

Man, this video introduced me to Pinkerton back in Jan/Feb 2021 and I know people say this all the time and it may come across as disingenuous, but this album along with the Strokes helped me a lot when I was going through my first serious break up this year. Even though songs like Across the Sea focus on the longing for a girl he can’t have, the literal distance Cuomo’s lyrics illustrated between him and this girl was something I could really connect to. I suppose hearing music that matches how you feel can go a long way in helping you deal with stuff, rather than trying to trick to yourself into being happy with songs by The Beatles, as it helps you to just ‘let it out.’ Anyways, no one asked but to summarise, thank you for introducing me to Pinkerton

But I kept playing it in my truck on my daily work commute, and it didn't take long for it to get into my bloodstream and alter my DNA. While all the negative press and bad reviews swayed most Blue Album fans away from even giving Pinkerton a chance, I was falling in love with it more and more with each listen. I started to think either I must have odd musical taste OR everyone else was too stupid to be able appreciate its greatnees as I did. Then years later I start seeing articles in different music mags that were celebrating its greatness as if they knew it all along.
