Weezer's Rad Red, Plus The Best of Radiohead
We're loving the video for the new Weezer single "Pork and Beans," which is jam-packed with our favorite YouTube celebs like Chris Crocker, Tay Zonday and, er, Kevin Federline (see above). But what about the rest of the nerdy California power-pop quartet's sixth album?
While it’s a little weird to hear 38-year-old Rivers Cuomo still moaning about his high school traumas, the Rick Rubin-produced set—known as The Red Album—pretty much sounds like a riff-tastic throwback to the group's ‘90s heyday, especially on tracks like "Troublemaker" and "The Good Life." Just skip over the songs where Cuomo hands over the mic to the other three members.
Now, on to the best and the rest of the week's new releases.
Radiohead: The Best of Radiohead
It's the greatest-hits set collection Thom Yorke doesn't want you to have, featuring falsetto-blessed alternative rock staples like "Creep," "Karma Police" and "Fake Plastic Trees." Check out the Radiohead Best of trailer.
Jewel: Perfectly Clear
The former coffeehouse queen is looking for career redemption on the country charts. Give her this, the down-home vibe of her seventh album is a lot more convincing than Jessica Simpson's recent cowgirl makeover. Check out the title track.
Other Worthy New Releases: Ashanti: The Declaration; Jakob Dylan: Seing Things; Aimee Mann: +.%&! Smilers; Disturbed: Indestructible; Grupo Fantasma: Sonidos Gold; Pinetop Perkins: Pinetop Perkins and Friends; Fleet Foxes: Fleet Foxes.
