I could fill an entire paragraph right now simply repeating the name Weezer. Oh, Weezer, Weezer, Weezer. Oh, Weezer. How ...

Consequence of Sound
The thing about Weezer (Green Album) that made it so important to me was that it was a relevant album and several other people were able to experience the same connection with me

Rolling Stone
Weezer — a. k. a. the Green Album — proves that the band was smart to wait out the lean years.

NME
They coulda been contenders. Instead, Weezer blew their last chance of salvation on the roulette table of mediocrity. Laugh? This one will have you in tears.

The Green Album nonetheless finds Weezer sounding revitalized in every way. Just in time for summer.

PopMatters
Secure yourself a copy of "The Green Album" as it could very well be this year's Summer Album.

Drowned in Sound
From the second The Green Album kicks off with 'Don't Let Go' it's blatant that Weezer are in the sort of form you expect. All soaring bouncy guitars, sunshine drum beats and the sort of vocal melody that has already taken permanant residence in your memory base.

Slant Magazine
Weezer is the new old modern rock.

All Music
Weezer has yet to deliver a record that isn't immensely satisfying.

Tiny Mix Tapes
The Green Album spits out the catchiest Weezer choruses since their debut self-titled album Weezer (aka The Blue Album).

Record Retrospects
The Green Album will not go down in Weezer history as an incredible masterpiece, like the Blue Album, Pinkerton, and the White Album will, though it is an excellent collection of songs that wonderfully reflect Rivers Cuomo’s headspace at the time of recording.

Diffuser
When taking stock of the Green Album, it makes perfect sense that Weezer are still as relevant as ever: after such meteoric beginnings, it was the moment Weezer proved they're in it for the long haul.

Before Rivers decided to return to Weezer full time, he spent a year holed up in a tiny Santa Monica apartment with no phone or TV, with the walls painted black and heavy curtains over the windows. After hearing their new album, I almost feel like doing the same thing.
