Make no mistake, The White Album is the long awaited and worthy successor toPinkerton. And that’s not an exaggeration of any kind

Despite some really awful songs, White Album contains at least four of the greatest songs that Rivers has written in 15 years

As Weezer becomes old enough to hit the classic-rock circuit, it’s a relief to know that many of its newer songs will sound as strong as the well-worn classics

A couple of terrible alt singles to anchor a collection of vintage melodies is a worthy sacrifice

Despite wavering towards the second half, there is no doubt that this is Weezer’s best album in years

It all ends with the superb "Endless Bummer," an acoustic ballad with one of Cuomo's most poignant melodies

Whilst ‘The White Album’ isn’t the culmination of twenty-four years and ten albums, it is certainly Weezer’s very own handmade Guide for Dummies

And while the band may never again reach the heights of their two ‘90s albums, The White Album is just as listenable as those second era albums

Ostensibly, all is forgiven, and we can resume our march further and further away from Weezer's awful '00s with renewed spirits. Unfortunately, the White album proves that some curses are damn hard to break

There are no bizarre, unnecessary detours, no efforts to pander to a new audience and no misguided attempts to overcorrect the perceived mistakes of the past. Weezer sounds like something close to Weezer again

White is... fine. It’s OK, it’s not bad, but it’s largely standard Weezer and the stand-out tracks are fewer and further between
