Description
From the pounding, primal assault of the opening track its clear from the outset that Pinkerton is a different record than the sunny, heavy guitar pop of Weezers eponymous debut. The first noticeable difference is the darker, messier sound the guitars rage and squeal, the beats are brutal and visceral, the vocals are mixed to the front, filled with overlapping, off-the-cuff backing vocals. In short, it sounds like the work of a live band, which makes it all the more ironic that Pinkerton, at its core, is a singer/songwriter record, representing Rivers Cuomos bid for respectability.
