3.0 good | CasualListen | November 11th 10 | "Red" is a mixed bag of good, average and goofy (no bad). You don't need to buy the album but you'd be a fool to miss out on Heart Songs.

3.0 good | whatshisname | August 12th 10 | This was SO MUCH better than "Make Believe". And I'd give that a 1.5, due to the fact there's only about one song I liked. And I love Weezer. It's just sad they'll never write anything as good as the Blue Album or Pinkerton.

2.5 average | Your #1 Most Loved Semiaquatic, Egg-Laying Mammal | July 21st 20 | Does something that no other Weezer album does: features some good epics of 5+ minutes, but pretty much everything else sounds like it's on autopilot. Features some of the worst songwriting of Weezer's career up until this point.

4.0 excellent | sugarcubes | May 3rd 16 | this is the album that made the phrase "This is my alternate Red tracklist" one of the most annoying for Weezer fans to hear

3.0 good | MS2k | December 16th 14 | Not being a Weezer purist, I find this album to be pretty enjoyable pop rock. "TGMWEL" and "Pork and Beans" are highlights, and tracks 6-9 are all spirited and catchy in their own way. Skip "Heart Songs", hit eject on track 11 if not in the mood. Lyrics? Stupid. But ain't that what pop is supposed to be?

1.0 awful | TheBenz | July 10th 12 | Of the Weezer albums I have listened through, The Blue debut is a classic record, Pinkerton is even better and in an elite class of its own and the Green album is very good and amlost as good as the other two. This however, is terrible. 'Troublemaker' is a somewhat catchy tune so long as you ignore the stink lyrics, but everything else here is just awful. 'Pork and Beans' may be their most overrated song and 'Greatest Man...' may have some cool ideas but is simply too silly to really appreciate. It's a shame for a such delightful sunny and noisy band to reduce themselves to one-dimensional "geeky dadrockers" as it seems on this album.

0.0 | MrDoobie | December 17th 09 | I have to agree with this reviewer. "Pork and Beans" is a damn good power pop song, but "Heart Songs" is just cheesy, uninspired, and pitiful. The rest of the album is either one (damn good) or the other (uninspired and pitiful).

2.0 poor | Rudy K. EMERITUS | October 6th 09 | At this point, it’s hard to say that Weezer’s latest was a real disappointment, as I’ve expected nothing but that from this once-proud band since 2005 (yes, I hung on even after Maladroit). The Red Album was trumpeted as the band’s comeback, and while it showed a few fading signs of the old Weezer, the band’s delusions of grandeur and Cuomo’s declining lyrical abilities made it instead a last gasp, “Pork and Beans” reminding me only of what could have been.
Bump |
2.0 poor | Matte | July 16th 09 | Uninspired radio rock. Yuck. At least there nothing as bad as "Beverly Hills" on this album.
Bump |
3.5 great | endlessartix | July 14th 09 | This album actually isn't that bad. The only songs that I skip are Heart Songs and Cold Dark World. Plus, I bought it at Walmart with a gift card so I still have money to get whatever the heck I want
Bump |
2.5 average | Mr_Coffee | November 4th 08 | For a band like Weezer, The Red Album is a HUGE improvement, since their last album was Make Believe- one of the worst albums ever. This has some shiny moments ("Pork N' Beans", "Thought I Knew"), but, since it's Weezer, has some horrible songs that drag the album down ("Everybody Get Dangerous", "Heart Songs", "Cold Dark World"). With all the pros and cons, "The Red Album" is decent.
Bump |
2.0 poor | AmnesiacR | September 8th 08 | Such a disappointment. After "Pork N' Beans" was released, I got really excited. But unfortunately, they'll never sound like they did on the Blue Album and Pinkerton--and that's a fact we'll all have to accept.
I've given up on their new stuff until I hear something that legitimately changes my mind.

0.0 | Iam138 | September 5th 08 | Weezer will never live up to there second album Pinkerton. Weezer as most will say have declined greatly. Weezer then relased Pork N' Beans and the song had everything that the band was missing. Unfourtunatly the rest of the album does not. The album has terrible lyrics and simple verses but has really catchy chouruses. This for the most part a fun album but nothing compared to Blue or Pinkerton.

1.0 awful | bobafe6604 | August 22nd 08 | When listening to 'The Red Album', one solid thought sprang to mind: "WHAT THE FUCK IS THIS???" Posessing some of the most horrid ideas, shitty lyrics, and laughable musicianship concieved this year, one wonders why Weezer doesn't just throw in the towel for good. Yeah, sure, their old... hell, they sing about it; it's no excuse. Weezer proves they are not aging well at all by releasing what seems to be the most uninspired and downright ugliest record of the year. Rick Rubin must be blamed (Fuck, he should be fined for Linkin Parks' last album) for this debacle as well, not adhering to the age-old adage: "Just because you can do something doesn't mean you should" Instead, Rubin and Weezer pick their brains for every dumbass, kooky, and out-right stupid idea they could come up with and dumped it into Wal-Mart's accross the country. Money grab? Maybe not; but a piece of shit nonetheless. This isn't the Weezer I know and love. Period.

3.0 good | jazzvortex46 | June 10th 08 | Probably a little soon to tag this album with a rating but my first impressions are positive. sure this album will get hammered for its hoky and goofy feel that it has to it but thats what makes it enjoyable. Most of the songs are simple and catchy but "heart songs" totally blows. Really bad song. Its on a completely different level then Make Believe and that album's suckiness, but again it will be compared to the string of amazing albums they had in the early to mid 90's. Good album, not great.
