I'm strongly considering getting this album (http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/B0001JXQEM/imockery) even though I already own the blue album. First off, they totally remastered the original album, and on top of that there's a 2nd CD with a lot of b-sides including "Mykel and Carli" which is one of their best songs ever.

It's also by far my favorite album of theirs, so I think it's worth having anyway. I wish they still used that great hybrid of electric and acoustic guitars like they did on that album. It was just perfection back then...

I want it, but $40CND is too much. I'll wait until I find it used in like 3 years. It is one of the best albums of all time though.

I'm listening to disc 2 of it right now, actually. Very good stuff. Personally I haven't noticed much difference between the "remastered" album and the original, but I've only listened to it at work so far and I can't really turn up the volume nad appreciate it.

Disc 2 has some GREAT shit on it though, like "Mykel and Carli" like you mentioned. "Paperface" and "Jamie" are also great.

I kinda wish they had some more original b-sides on it instead of live songs and I was really hoping "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams" would be on it, but I guess they're just strictly sticking to "blue era" material.

If you're going to get it, now's a good time. It's on sale at Best Buy this week for $20.

"Mykel and Carli" is one of the great unknow tracks of Weezer's career. I downloaded the thing, and while pretty solid, I can't see myself spending more than $20CND on it.

Weezer is a band that I expected better things after songs like El Scorcho but I'm still on the back burner waiting for more...Too many bands that are better.
