New Pinkerton Due In November

Weezer will release a deluxe edition of Pinkerton on November 2, 2010. The two-CD Pinkerton reissue will contain the original ten tracks and twenty-five extra tracks.

While the prospect of twenty-five Pinkerton-era tracks might make your alt heart flutter, read the fine print before you scurry off to preorder the discs. A good portion of those twenty-five tracks are live or alternate versions of the album's tracks. Hell, eleven of the twenty-five tracks are live or alternate versions of "The Good Life," "El Scorcho," and "Pink Triangle," which admittedly, are Pinkerton's three strongest tracks. But I doubt anyone needs five different verisons of "Pink Triangle."

Here's the full tracklist:

DISC ONE
  1. Tired of Sex
  2. Getchoo
  3. No Other One
  4. Why Bother
  5. Across the Sea
