Pacific daydream

"Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo fancied himself a modern-day Burroughs while working on Pacific Daydream, using a computer program to arrange musical fragments into songs. Ultimately, it led to a pretty straightforward Weezer album ... Butch Walker's post-postmodern production sometimes overwhelms the songs, but its best moments - "Weekend Woman" could be Weezer's "Good Vibrations ...".

"Age clearly hasn't wearied Weezer. While they remain an institution of college rock, they're not burdened by any of the baggage that comes with it. `Pacific Daydream' is all carefree, expertly crafted pop, free of irony and all the better for it. Lock the doors, crack open a cold one, and enjoy an endless summer with Weezer".
