Ten years ago, the thought of Weezer's geek chic debut receiving the coveted double disc anniversary treatment carried about as much validity as the possibility of a Milli Vanilli reunion. Yet the current outbreak of emo bands who were no doubt weaned on the band's crunchy guitar riffs and irresistible chorus lines suggests that a reissue of the fabled "Blue Album" is long overdue.

In any event, here it is.

Aptly titled The Deluxe Edition, this double disc offering allows Weezer fans to recapture the magic of the band's debut with more than a few extras thrown in for good measure. Disc one is the album in its original form, from "My Name is Jonas" (the greatest album opener in recent memory), to staples such as "Undone: The Sweater Song," "Buddy Holly," "Say It Aint So" and everything in between.

The first disc serves mainly as a refresher course, but the extras are a welcome change from the ordinary. Disc two is comprised entirely of unreleased music, including B-sides, remixes, live cuts and lost demos. All are remastered for sound quality, which should give most Weezer diehards reason enough to scrap their endless collection of sub par bootlegged recordings.

Leftovers such as "Suzanne," "Mykel and Carlie" and "Paperface" are as accessible and melodic as anything the band has released over the years, while alternate versions of "Surf Wax America" and "Only In Dreams" put unique spins on old classics.

The Deluxe Edition will likely come across as dessert after the main course, an extra kick for your buck. With 24 songs in total, there's little room for disappointment here.
