"Memories" Video Review

It's a series of new beginnings in the Weezer camp. They have a new album (Hurley, their eighth full-length effort and the best one they've pulled off in the new millennium), a new label (independent punk-minded imprint Epitaph, home to the likes of Rancid, Social Distortion and Bad Religion) and a crunchy new single called "Memories" (which contains a bunch of references to the band's early days and an awesome shout-along chorus).

It’s retro visuals for a song that’s looking back but acknowledging the now, here via a cut of Knoxville kissing a baby that’s less scary and more sentimental than those words read.

"I had been married for a few months and had been in school for the semester before that, and basically I had been away from the band and the rock world for a while," Weezer frontman Rivers Cuomo told MTV News about the writing process of the single. "I was really missing it, and just sitting there alone in my room missing the fans and missing my band, so 'Memories' is about getting back in there."
