==Overview==
Weezer-Rules was active from August 1995 until around 2000. At its peak in 1998, it had roughly 1,000 subscribers.Joel Abbott (April 18, 1998). "Intro". Weezer-Rules homepage. Archived from the original at https://web.archive.org/web/19980425033327/http://gartholamew.com/MailingLists/weezer-rules/intro.txt. Daily digests sent to members were archived on the list's homepage by Abbott, making the list's message history accessible to nonsubscribers. Many of these archived digests were, in turn, archived by the Internet Archive's Wayback Machine, making them accessible in the present day. These archives are some of the earliest online Weezer discussion which remains publicly available.
The mailing list was featured in the Fall 1997 issue of Weezine alongside other contemporary fan websites.Karl Koch (1997). "weezer on the web...a guide to finding weezer in cyberspace!". Weezine Issue #11 - Fall 1997 p.5. Archived from the original on Weezerpedia. It was frequented by Mykel and Carli Allan, heads of the Weezer Fan Club, Anuj Behal and Dan Gdowski of weezer.net, and Daniel Brummel and Jose Galvez of the band Ozma.

Weezer (Rivers Cuomo tape)

Weezer is a cassette compilation by Rivers Cuomo, featuring demos recorded from 1991 through 1992. The compilation was partially released in 2020 as a part of the Rivers Cuomo digital compilations Alone V: Before Weezer and Patrick & Rivers in 2020.
==Overview==
In late 1991, Rivers Cuomo and Patrick Wilson began writing songs for an as-of-yet unnamed future project, with an end goal of reaching fifty songs. This collaboration was named The 50 Song Project, and also featured collaborations from Jason Cropper. By February 1992, that new project had begun with addition of Matt Sharp, putting the project to an end after only twenty-nine songs.
Of these songs, Cuomo compiled twelve onto a singular cassette tape. Additionally, a slightly earlier Wilson-Cuomo collaboration, recorded in July of 1991, titled "To Get By" was included in the tracklist. Cuomo commonly compiled cassettes of his songs during this time, and typically put little thought into their names. The name "Weezer" originates from Cuomo's childhood, and was a nickname given to him by his father. When it became time for this new band to decide on a name, Cuomo himself suggested Weezer.Koch, Karl. Recording History, archived from weezer.com. Recording History - Page 3 According to Karl Koch, the demo tape was named after the band "to sum up the songs written that were now under the weezer umbrella."
Of the thirteen songs on Weezer, twelve have been released. Cuomo's cover of "The World We Love So Much" by was featured on his 2007 compilation Alone: The Home Recordings of Rivers Cuomo. The placement of the song on Weezer's tracklist is unknown. Despite contributions from Patrick Wilson on certain songs,Koch, Karl. Recording History, archived from weezer.com. Recording History - Page 2Koch, Karl. Recording History, archived from weezer.com. Recording History - Page 2 nine more songs were included on Cuomo's digital compilation Alone V: Before Weezer. Two more songs were released on the collaborative digital compilation Patrick & Rivers. The identity of the thirteenth song is unknown.
==Track listing==
"The World We Love So Much" written by Gregg Alexander also appears on this tape, but the track position of the song is unknown.

Weezer (The Blue Album): Deluxe Edition Amazon record review

Weezer was one of the unlikeliest success stories of the post-Nirvana alt. rock boom, a band whose initial multi-platinum success (spawning the successful singles "Buddy Holly," "Undone," and "Say It Ain't So" and high-profile videos by Spike Jonze in its wake) was arguably its most ironic aspect. Indeed, the band's geek-appeal was refreshingly organic, a charm that came sharply into focus on leader Rivers Cuomo's painfully sincere, slice-of-loser-life songs and the energetic, pop-grunge confections the band concocted around them. This deluxe, double-disc edition of one of the '90s key rock albums treats the original collection's 10 tracks to a new, 24-bit digital remastering, as well as insightful liner notes and the reproductions of the songs original, often scrawled lyric sheets. But it's the second disc that will hold the greatest appeal to Weezer fans, gathering 14 tracks that encompass import b-sides and outtakes that include winsome, affectionate odes ("Mykel and Carli," "Suzanne," "Jamie") aimed at everyone from the band's friends to its label personnel and lawyer. Other highlights include the oddball barbershop quartet exercise "My Evaline," several live and acoustic cuts from the album's tour as well a handful of insightful, previously unreleased home and studio demos.

Weezer (The Blue Album): Deluxe Edition BBC record review

Weezer sounds as stunning as ever...this is essentially a flawless record.
A decade on from its original release, Weezer's seminal eponymous debut is back on the shelves. To be honest, though, it never went away. Generally dubbed 'The Blue Album', Weezer has refused to lie down and continues to influence new generations of emo and pop-punk bands (see Jimmy Eat World and Fountains of Wayne). As a result, this is a record that will feel very familiar to dedicated fans and newcomers alike.
So why the deluxe re-release? Well, first and foremost this is a 24-bit remastering of the original album. And if that isn't exciting enough, there's a second disc full of b-sides, live acoustic tracks and kitchen tape demos. 24 tracks in total. Good value for money, if nothing else.
Throughout their four-album career, Weezer have never strayed far from their alluring fusion of pop simplicity and riff-heavy rock. Above all else, frontman Rivers Cuomo pens incredibly charming songs. His quirky harmonica melodies and humble tributes to other bands ("I've got posters on the wall, my favourite rock group Kiss") have become particularly endearing trademarks.
Weezer sounds as stunning as ever. "Buddy Holly" and "Undone - The Sweater Song" are still highlights, but every track would have made a first-rate single. The digital makeover isn't really discernible; in fact, the '1995 remix version' of "Say It Ain't So" remains almost identical to the original. And rightfully so. After all, it would be a crime to alter what is essentially a flawless record. From start to finish it's a sun-drenched, fuzzed-up and instantly memorable album.
On the whole, the bonus material makes for enjoyable listening: "Jamie" and "Susanne" could easily have featured on the album proper, whilst "My Evaline" sees the band pull off a delightfully bijou barbershop harmony. The other rarities are rather formulaic but will no doubt appeal to Weezer completists.
Thankfully, this re-issue doesn't signal the demise of the band; you can expect more of their distinctively chunky power-chords, geeky introverted lyrics and Beach Boys harmonies in 2005. If you've never heard 'The Blue Album', consider this an essential purchase. Likewise, owners of worn out ten year-old copies might also want to treat themselves.

Weezer (The Blue Album): Deluxe Edition BlogCritics record review

1994. The year the (shitty) music died, and Weezer was born. Weezer has Kurt Cobain's suicide to think for a good bit of it's success. In 1994, grunge was at the zenith of it's popularity, and Nirvana had established themselves, albeit unintentionally, as the godfathers of the entire genre. They were one of the most popular bands in the world, and In Utero was still riding pretty high, but that all changed in early April, 1994. Kurt Cobain decided that grunge was bullshit and didn't want to go on making/performing/living grunge music, and committed suicide. Everyone finally figured out that grunge is one of the most horrible genres of music ever created, and that Nirvana was the only band to transcend their genre and make something worthwhile. Soon, people were looking for something new and different, and a month later, in May 1994, =w=eezer arrived. Weezer became a huge success, and for good reason.
The Blue Album is one of the most deceptively simple albums ever recorded. Their influences bleed through rather clearly, especially in 'Undone (the sweater song)' (Pixies), 'Say It Ain't So' (more Pixies/Nirvana), 'Holiday' (The Cars), 'Surf Wax America' (Elvis Costello), and 'Only In Dreams'(Sonic Youth). Despite the obvious influences, however, they end up with a collection of songs that sound quite distinct. Many bands have tried to write pre-Green Album Weezer songs (including post-Green Album Weezer), and almost everyone has failed. It's not easy to duplicate the urgent harmonies of 'My Name Is Jonas,' the constrained glee of 'Buddy Holly,' or the completely unironic, gloriously corny sentimentality of 'In The Garage.' So, while the music might sound a bit familiar upon first listen, after a few times through, it becomes clear that Weezer is onto something brilliant, a sound all it's own: geek-punk.
There isn't a song that's even remotely bad on the new deluxe edition, until you hit the second disc, made up entirely of live cuts, B-sides, and alternate versions of Blue Album tracks. Most of the old B-sides are great, including 'Susanne,' a story of a man, and his love for a baboon (or at least that's what Mallrats would have you to believe), and 'Mykel and Carli,' 'Paperface,' and 'Jamie,' who's quality suggests that they were three of the last songs cut from The Blue Album. The live songs, 'My Name Is Jonas,' and 'Surf Wax America,' are solid, but nothing amazing, if you've ever heard Weezer live. The alternate versions of 'Jamie,' 'Undone,' 'Say It Ain't So,' and 'No One Else' are completely unnecessary, as they are all inferior to the original versions, but are probably of some interest to most Weezer Fans.
Overall, this is one of the most important debut albums of the last ten years. It ushered in an entire sub-genre of music, brought Emo to the mainstream, and still maintains it's artistic merit ten years later. Legendary.

Weezer (The Blue Album): Deluxe Edition Rolling Stone record review

By May 1994, when Weezer's Blue Album was released, they seemed destined for a short fifteen minutes of fame: They joked about Dungeons and Dragons, scored a hit with the grunge novelty "Undone - The Sweater Song" and were produced by ex-Cars frontman Ric Ocasek, not exactly a paragon of hair-flailing hipness.
Ten years on, as this double-disc reissue attests, these four thrift-store-clad guitar boys seem almost like visionaries. Crunchy nuggets such as "In the Garage" and "My Name Is Jonas" were fuzzed-out enough to blend in with other radio rock of the time, but Rivers Cuomo eschewed rock-star posing and relied on harmonies, big-ass choruses and tunes that attacked your inner lullaby. Whereas Nirvana launched thousands of imitators who cranked up the distortion and plunged into darkness, Cuomo blended white-guy self-consciousness and personal pain into big, vibrant pop-rock that would inspire thousands of emo kids. Songs such as "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" and the excellent broken-family soundtrack "Say It Ain't So" were endearing rather than howlingly cathartic, showing he had clearly studied at the Brian Wilson School of Melancholia. 
Disc Two is a solid collection of mid-Nineties miscellany. "Mykel and Carli" and "Susanne" are catchy B sides that could have fit in nicely on the Blue Album. Live versions of "My Name Is Jonas" and "Surf Wax America" rock more cleanly than most bootlegs from the era, but the real gems are the "kitchen tape" demos: stripped-down, home-recorded versions of "Only in Dreams," "The Sweater Song" and other tunes, proving that, underneath all the feedback, Cuomo was just a pop-minded bedroom poet with the Cobain blues.
