The result is an album of catchy pop gems, more accessible than \u003cem\u003ePinkerton\u003c\/em\u003e, and with a quicker pace and more sonic depth than Weezer. Lead singer \/ songwriter \u003cstrong\u003eRivers Cuomo\u003c\/strong\u003e has a way with an infectious hook and a sing-along chorus, especially on \u003cem\u003eDon't Let Go, Photograph\u003c\/em\u003e and \u003cem\u003eKnockdown Drag Out\u003c\/em\u003e. The album's first single, \u003cem\u003eHash Pipe,\u003c\/em\u003e kicks off with a bass-heavy, 70s-sounding metal riff, while \u003cem\u003eIsland in the Sun\u003c\/em\u003e is as summery as its title suggests. The Green Album is a gem, small yet perfectly formed. It is also a worthy return for a band whose influence is undeniable, if under appreciated.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Geffen","offers":[{"title":"LP - Vinyl","offer_id":57576848851289,"sku":"SDZ-42802","price":29.99,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0588\/3455\/0945\/files\/WEEZER-Weezer_Reissue_-LP-Vinyl.webp?v=1773589960","url":"https:\/\/spindizzyrecords.com\/products\/weezer-weezer-reissue","provider":"Spindizzy Dublin","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
