What is the deal with Toto's "Africa?" I ask purely from the perspective of a critic confused by how this glossy and very silly '80s pop song has captured the public's imagination over all of the other glossy and very silly '80s pop song. If I knew the answer, I imagine I might be able to appreciate The Teal Album. More

You're reading a Weezer review. Ergo, you're a geek, you spend time on the Internet, and you know what a troll is. Well, Rivers Cuomo has stopped trolling his fans: this is a return to "serious" (or as close to it as he ever got) songwriting from Weezer. Gone are the gimmicks, the novelty songs, and the bizarre collaborations. More
