Weezer is the perfect combination of fantastic—if not uneven—music, terrible lyrics, nostalgia and teenage (or pre-teenage) angst.

If you’ve never boarded a Metro-Link bus while listening to a drunken warbling of “Say it Ain’t So” you have not truly lived.

Such was the scene as LouFest closed Sunday night, and festivalgoers suddenly became painfully aware they had work/school in the morning.

It’s that time of the year again: LouFest is taking over Forest Park this weekend for the city’s biggest music festival.

Like much of Weezer’s post-“Maladroit” output, “Everything Will Be Alright” represents a lighter, frothier version of the band. Not that there’s anything wrong with that, as Cuomo’s the kind of songwriter who can produce earworms on autopilot.

For better or for worse, Weezer continues its onslaught of albums with “Death to False Metal,” the band’s fourth release in three years. If you’re interested in a breakdown of the match-up, “Worse” was up 3-0 coming into this round, but this collection of unreleased B-sides and rarities has enough moxy to make things better.

Jimmy Eat World is 17 years old this year, but while all his friends are applying to college, learning a trade or enlisting in the Army, little Jimmy is having a hard time finding his way. He knows he should grow up, but he’s still putting out the same angsty emo music he was listening to back in middle school, just dressing it up under the guise of maturity.

The album cover of Weezer’s new album, “Raditude,” is awesome. You see, there’s this dog, and being a dog, he doesn’t have wings, yet he’s flying through the air.
