Troublemaker

As we stated previously, Weezer's most recent self-titled release--aka The Red Album--has been a disappointment 'round these parts: tired and uninspired is how described it, with drummer Pat Wilson's "Automatic" the only other song on the disc we can get with. But like another similar album by the Los Angeles quartet--2002's Maladroit--we've fallen in love with a simple, but quite rockin' tune included therein, regardless of the ineffective lure of the rest of the record.

We're referring to lead-off track "Troublemaker", an irresistibly catchy 2-chord rocker with silly lyrics that just begs to be sung along to. (Although, this may be a bit of a challenge: it probably has more words than a classic Public Enemy song.)
