Blue Album or Pinkerton?
Fuck, that's like asking me to choose between two restaurants to eat at. The Blue Album is a place I go when my friends are around, a place where we sing in unison to 'Undone (The Sweater Song)' and 'In the Garage'. Pinkerton is where I head when I'm feeling down, as nothing feels better than having a fellow nerd feel as useless in relationships as me.
On their second LP, Rivers Cuomo sings about his lack of enthusiasm for sex with groupies, a dysfunctional relationship based only on safety, and the pondering of never getting back into the dating scene before coming full circle about falling back again.
Well, until the girl ends up being a lesbian.
'El Scorcho' is by far my favorite track on the album.
