The Green album. It’s like Led Zeppelin IV or The Smiths’ The Queen is Dead. It’s The band hitting full stride. It’s Weezer at their height. and every song on the album is worth playing on your mental jukebox. But “Island in the Sun” stands out because it’s Weezer in slow tempo. It’s the change-up. Hearing them play it live two summers ago at Jones Beach, “Island in the Sun” still has the same effect nearly 20 years later. It transports you to a carefree utopia.

“On an island in the sun. We’ll be playing and having fun. And it makes me feel so fine I can’t control my brain.”
