I think I also have to call this my favorite Rentals song. He was flawed in some ways, but it's a shame Matt's music doesn't get much attention outside of the Weezer community. Not to revive the endless new vs. old Weezer debate, but this record certainly meant a lot more to me growing up than any of the post-Pinkerton stuff. It captures that sense of wistful nostalgia so prevalent on The Blue Album that Rivers seemed to abandon later on.
