In a world where Weezer are past their prime Wheatus are a breath of fresh air for nerd rock. They have one of the most Oh-that-song-sounds-so-familiart-but-who-the-hell-did-it one hit wonders of all time in Teenage Dirtbag, a pop-punk ditty that can hang with the catchiest of them all. The guitars on this record have some of the best tone of any mainstream rock record I've ever heard, not too much treble, with a very sustained fuzz. Album closer Wanna Be Gangster is an instant classic.
