Top Comments of this video!! :3
One of my favourite Weezer stories is from Brian after Pinkerton went platinum, he made a post about how he made a visit to a recording studio he worked in back in 1990, and how he was proud to see the album Pinkerton hanging on the wall of the studio. He mentioned how he used to be the vacuum guy at the studio, and how his nickname was 'Jazz Rat' because of the 'improvisational ways in which he vacuumed the floors'

Pinkerton has been my favorite album of all time since probably 2008 but I think I've come to like it even more lately.
Maybe becoming big on YouTube over the last 6 years has made me finally able to relate to some of what Rivers was going through after Blue. (Thankfully I can't relate to "Pink Triangle").
Pinkerton is my #1 go to if I'm in a dark place. It never fails to make me feel something.

"The Good Life "
I love this song from the album. Sometimes I feel like the protagonist, who looks the mirror and no longer recognizes himself. He feels old, with no one else to blame but himself and wants to go back to his younger days, carefree and dancing. He recognizes that he needs to make a change and get back on the path of living a good life.
Great video 👍

Pinkerton was the first Weezer album I heard. It's always been my mom's favorite Weezer album and she's played it ever since I was a toddler. One of the few memories I have from when I was about 4 was hearing Why Bother, it getting stuck in my head, and humming it in preschool. Now that I'm not a tiny kid anymore Pinkerton is one of my favorite records of all time, it's always meant a lot to me.

Love the video! But... I'm not sure I quite agree with your conclusion that Butterfly is "utterly hopeless".
While it is a very difficult song to stomache, and perhaps does showcase Rivers at his lowest. I think that him finally accepting that he is the problem, and has been this whole time, is a hopeful message. At least to me, Butterfly has always felt like him stopping his descent into someone truly terrible, and beginning an ascent into a much more mentally stable person.

I remember when I discovered Pinkerton existed. I had the Blue Album and loved it. But hadn't really kept up with new stuff coming and didn't know Weezer had released a second album. One day, a couple friends and I were in a pool hall playing pool and I heard a song come on... thought to myself, "This sounds like Weezer." The pool hall had one of those CD Juke boxes that was playing the music, so I went over to see who it was. Found the song and saw Pinkerton for the first time. The song was Tired of Sex. I didn't know it existed, but I recognized the sound. I've never thought Pinkerton was weird or different... I just thought it was Weezer. And I've always liked it.
