...disgust as they pour giant industrial-sized vats of chunky processed nacho cheese on chips in a trough in the shape of the Weezer logo. But the trough of nachos is far from their greatest feat. Check out how 233 people come together to thrash in largest air guitar ensemble ever seen. Stare in curiosity as Weezer’s Pat Wilson jams on the world’s smallest drum kit (although this record has yet to be confirmed by Mr. Guinness). Then peep 22 people perch precariously on a gigantic skateboard. Watch some hardcore gamers go through...
...ability to sustain happiness as a mood. There is Williams' glorious voice, of course--cracking in the verses and lubricating the choruses of "Tears of Joy"; drolly channeling Tammy Wynette to Elvis Costello's George Jones on "Jailhouse Tears"--but the critical decision was to make this a guitar-dominated album.

This opening pair doesn’t provide much in the way of lyrical specificity...
...President if the levees break again,” yet he spends much of the song filling space with pointless “la, la, las,” which leads to a rather confused message. Given the complete lack of melody offered by either Morello’s guitar or voice, the song drifts by without being anywhere near as passionate as it wants...
