Holy crap, they said sex.....it must be a bad song.....give me a minute while I puke at the generalness of North America's overall conservative nature and lack of subtle humor. Yet "Tired of Sex" is the first track on the much adored Pinkerton. It's actually my favorite song on there, too. But I've always been more of a "sound" guy, rather than "lyrics." (Not that "Tired of Sex" is cheap, low-brow trash. Not by a long shot.) All this talk about "sex" made me think of this: Sorry it's not in English, but the fact that it's in German makes it funny, nonetheless. I have yet to hear the album, but I doubt the reason it is being panned by many as the album's low point is because of the title and subject matter. It probably as more to do because it feels out of place on "Hurley" in relation to the rest of the material, or offers nothing new. And yes, I think most fans will mention "Tired of Sex" as one of Weezer's most accomplished singular tracks to date. Namaste, Lisping Hibiscus

I dont even care what anyone says anymore. This cd is amazing. I honestly don't care if their is another Blue or Pinkerton. These are my favorite Cd's but with this new cd I feel their hearts on the page. One note though
"Hang on" is just beautiful." Over and over- we swore it was over - but just like wild clovers- love grows at lightspeed.
Plus even reviews are saying this album is beautiful. I love Pinkerton to but people need to know you can like something different. New chapters in life call for different styles and messages. This cd reminds me of Green alot and alot of Blue. But with a sprinkle of Pinkerton.
From a few listens of the cd I would rank
Pinkerton A+ Blue A+ Green A Hurley A- Raditude B- Red C+ Maladroit C+ Make Belive C

I swear to whatever is greater than I am, that NOBODY has a freaking sense of humor anymore. I think Where's My Sex? is absolutely hilarious and although the chorus is weak considering how bouncy the verses are, in a What Is Love head bobbing style I don't see it as a low point of any kind. Holy crap, they said sex.....it must be a bad song.....give me a minute while I puke at the generalness of North America's overall conservative nature and lack of subtle humor. ' or maybe they think it's just not very good lol @ thinking everyone is offended by it and that's it

There are too many songs with the word "sex" in the title that get critical acclaim. Two that came to mind besides the already-mentioned "Tired of Sex" would be Kings of Leon's "Sex on Fire" and Pat Benatar's "Sex as a Weapon," both of which were Grammy nominees.

Although online leaks have made it completely pointless, I still feel like a baller getting the CD at midnight. Oh the glory of connections. Actually, I simply convinced the cashier at Best Buy to let me get Hurley and the Brandon Flowers album instead of the new Halo. I'm such a nerd.

It's not the single's fault. It was a fine enough song.
The problem was that it wasn't really a lead single...this was essentially the 7th single off The Red Album. Looking forward to #8.

They've basically shoved 7 singles down radios throat in the past 2 years. They'll be lucky to get top 40 with the next release.

It's like they wanted to make up for all the lost time where albums took three or four years to release by pumping out all the albums that would've been released.

This was better than the singles off Raditude, IMO. Shame it didn't do well.

At this rate, they'll be commercially releasing a song every week. Seriously?? (They've definitely piqued my curiosity by covering "Un-Break My Heart," of all songs, though.)
