In 1994, for the holidays I got both the debut Weezer album and Pearl Jam’s Vitalogy (the latter on vinyl). I was really into that Weezer album for quite a while and if I put it on I would still enjoy it...but I never listened to them again after that. Not sure if it was that they were playing to audiences with their backs turned or if there was too much of a self-important vibe from fans on the arrival of Pinkerton but I was turned off somewhere along the line and never came back. I do like that first album though.

I like Pinkerton so much, it hurts a bit every time I hear a new Weezer song.

Similar with me. LOVED the first album. Still do. Never got another Weezer album until Pinkerton like 2 years ago. It’s like I forgot they existed after first album. Maybe Pinkerton songs didn’t get much radio play? I dunno.

Though it's now arguably considered their best work, it was a major flop at the time, and destroyed the Weezer that could've been.

I held on until Make Believe, I think (was that album 5?). I really liked them. But after that, I have just ignored them.

Ok Human is really strong. I'd recommend checking it out.
