Hiya all! This week, it's time to recommend an album that's special to me in a special way. Despite my enjoyment of this album itself, it's probably been more significant to me in how many people it inspired in their music. Pinkerton by Weezer is a fundamental record in the emo scene, taking Weezer's eponymous blue debut to a grittier sound and markedly exposed confessional lyrics. Despite its initial poor reception, Pinkerton found a greately devoted audience and has since begun to receive the appreciate it deserves. Under the distortion and feedback, Pinkerton hides commendably complex harmonics, coloring the lyrical themes of dealing with emotional loneliness and isolation. My highlights include eclectic El Scorcho, desperately heartfelt Across the Sea, succinct yet meaningful Why Bother?, and everyone's favorite, Pink Triangle. I am compelled to mention that Falling For You randomly finds its way into my head for no reason I've discerned. My favorite track has to be Getchoo. Don't be fooled by the odd name. It's an incredibly rocking song. If you're in the mood for a rock classic, Pinkerton is a great option. Give it a try!
