The U.S. may not be a truly elite team (yet) and they are definitely in need of all the support they can get, but they still deserve better than this.
It pains me to think that the same person responsible for Pinkerton (only one of the ten best albums of the '90s) is somehow also behind this trite garbage. Given Weezer's last four albums or so (a decade of suckitude, really) this shouldn't be all that surprising, of course, but still... Rivers, come on, man...seriously. (And yes, football songs are not subject to the same quality standards as "proper" songs on an album, but this is not even good in the chorus department, which is the most important part of football songs!)

Well, Across the Sea it ain't, that's for sure.
ReplyDeleteMy theory is that Rivers Cuomo and Jeff Mangum (Neutral Milk Hotel) are just two halves of the same person. They both released absolutely brilliant mid/late 90s records and then went nuts. Then they both abandoned music. The only difference is that Cuomo kept releasing records.
