It’s difficult to pinpoint when exactly Weezer starting, uh, going off the deep end. While some harsher critics may pan the entire past decade of their career, I’ll give the Weezer dudes the benefit of the doubt and say once Make Believe came out in 2005, it was pretty much all downhill from there. Luckily, Weezer are aware of this, and in an effort to make you forget about their newly announced eighth album Hurley (and its unfortunate cover art) or their collaboration with Kenny G last year, they have announced plans to do a two-night tour in major cities, with one night dedicated to the self-titled “Blue Album” and the second night dedicated to Pinkerton. Straight from Rivers Cuomo himself (via MTV):
We have this really exciting idea to do a tour where we spend two nights in each city, and the first night, we play the entire Blue album, and the second night, we play the entirety of Pinkerton. We’re just running it by promoters right now to see if there’s sufficient interest in the markets to do something like that, and if they’re on board, it’s gonna happen.
