    Bought used for $10 at my local brick n mortar shop. I’m impressed either way

      My copy had quite a bit of surface noise, even after cleaning it. Mostly noticeable and a bit distracting during the quiet sections, though it's not noticeable for a lot of the album because it was mastered way too loud. If you end up with a pressing free of surface noise, you'll unfortunately still have to deal with the distortion caused by that.

        If you were in middle school when this came out, you probably wanted to start a band like I did because of the music. This was “THE” album. I can’t love it anymore. Good to start to finish.

          Not having a lot of issues with the sound of this one like a lot of people seem to be having. I'm just thankful that it's a 90's era record that doesn't have the entire album spread over two records! My copy sounds very crisp, full, and clear.

            Believe it or not, Weezer had a hard time building an audience in LA in the time of grunge. Their Kitchen Tape demo made its way to Geffen, who signed the band and encouraged them to hire a producer. Enter Ric Ocasek of The Cars, who helped the band add polish and pop elements to their songs. The result is the brilliant "Blue" album, which has sold 15 million albums since it was released. The album is filled with certifiable hits, and the video for Buddy Holly, interspersing the band with Happy Days footage, was instantly memorable and remains one of the best videos ever. This release on vinyl has a mixed history. The coolest version, the blue marble Target version, sounds terrible. The regular releases of this record are not much better. This DMM version, cut at Abbey Road, is the best one to get. It is clean and clear, with decent dynamics, but sometimes, those dynamics overtake the vocals, especially on Side A. Still, this is a very good sounding record (despite the debate over whether Surf Wax or Say It Ain't So should start Side B), and presents an excellent representation of the band's sound for that era.

              Side A, while having clear sound, is very lacking in dynamics, no doubt because of how many songs are stuffed onto that side. Side B, in comparison, sounds absolutely fantastic. I used to have the blue marbled Target pressing from 2020, and I'd suggest you pick that up instead, because it sounds miles better

                  Copy of this pressing just bought new is pristine. Did clean it before playing first though. And using a micro line stylus. Both sides grade A+ with a Puffin phono DSP. Sounds great.

                    For me, this is the pressing to get. Ignore the bad reviews - this sounds exactly the way the Blue album should sound

                      I love this album but damn, please try to stay away from this pressing. I didn't have any surface noise but there is a LOT of distortion. Especially on Surf Wax America, it's a shame because it's my favorite track on the album. Rivers is extremely undermixed compared to the guitars and symbols.
