That whole album is good, you can even see traces of that Emo punk bands fad that were popular for a little while, Bands like Dashboard confessional, yellow card, All american rejects..

That type of whiny Emo singing, Rivers sang kinda like that. (Btw i hate all those bands i mentioned)
I don't get the Emo connection. I don't know who came first out of those bands. I thought Weezer took inspiration or could had from bands like the Buddy Holly and the Crickets, the Ramones or Shonen Knife or maybe other College Rock bands. But after looking it up Weezer was influence by the Pixies, Nirvana, Oasis, Sonic Youth etc. OK it wasn't the bands I thought,it didn't mention Buddy Holly as I expected, weird I don't know why I thought that they were influence by Buddy Holly. And it didn't mention Shonen Knife but they were an influence for Nirvana, maybe their is an influence of them filtered through Nirvana. And it didn't mention the Ramones, -doesn't matter because Johnny Ramone was boss, he influenced a lot of guitarist directly or indirectly.
