Awkwardly and completely unrelated, Weezer has just released a new album named Raditude. It's the band's most Pop oriented album, that even features a club song I Can't Stop Partying which features rapper Lil' Wayne. Despite the new album's accessibility, the album's overall songwriting is a little stronger than their last few albums. In the mid-nineties, Weezer released an album this critics at the time hated called Pinketon. Despite the lack of sales and acclaim, in went on to be the most influential album in the second half of the 1990s, and was credited for inspiring the indie emo movement. Cuomo said he hated the album for years, and wouldn't play it live. Despite still refusing to play the songs like, Cuomo has recently come to like it and it's message. Do you think bands should be able to choose what songs they play life regardless of the audience?

There were a few injuries, the largest being lead singer and (on and off?) guitarist Rivers Cuomo who to a small cut to the spleen and a small puncture to the lung. Doctors report his injuries are not fatal. Reports claim the other injuries were less serious. Cuomo's wife and two year old daughter who were on the bus were unharmed.

Honestly it is their music and they should be able to play it when they want and however they want. It is surprising that it really isn't that way now. Ya it is understandable that they want to make their fans happy so that they buy a bunch of their stuff, but still is that really worth giving up your opinion of the stuff you made?
