Gotta say, the Blue Album is ****ing phenomenal. Every song is so good. Pinkerton and Make Believe are close seconds.
Massive early success with era defining singles and videos (SWW/NJ for Jovi, Blue Album for Weezer), detour into a deeply personal album that's adored by a majority of the fan-base but was recived very coldly in the US (These Days for Bon Jovi, Pinkerton for Weezer), which led both to achieve success by returning to (and camps in both fan bases would argue dumbing down to) a poppier sound (everything both bands have done since 2000)
