Weezer Drops New Single 'Pork and Beans'


After all it's no joke. Weezers new self-titled album, already being reffered to as the red album is coming out June 17th. The first single has already leaked online after Weezer posted it on their official site and is named "Pork and Beans."

Good news for the die hard Weezer fans "Pork and Beans" is Weezer back on the horse. The song is likeable almost immeadiately after the first listen and is the heaviest thing that Weezer has put out in a while. Sounds like green album all distorted up, but it doesn't sound much like anything on Make Believe which is sure to please the Weezer faithful. The song appartenly is a middle finger to the record company which was harrassing lead singer Rivers Cuomo at the time for more "radio friendly" material.

The song starts out bass heavy with a (mmm mmm) backing track before breaking into the heavily distorted chorus that you can't help but want to memorize. But as Rivers says in the chorus of the song "I'm a do the things that I wanna do/ I ain't got a thing to prove to you," if only there weren't so much riding on this album, but even if there is for Weezer fans waiting for their triumphant return, Rivers at least doesn't seem to mind.

Single: "Pork And Beans"
Review: 4/5
