Editorial Reviews
Digitally re-mastered and expanded two CD edition of this 1996 album including 25 bonus tracks. Apart from the original album, this set includes every official b-side and 16 previously unreleased recordings. Among the latter are the newly-discovered gem "Tragic Girl," unreleased B-side "I Swear It's True" and numerous live performances, particularly noteworthy given that the band rarely played Pinkerton songs after the album tour. The 1996-1997 concert tracks were taken from the massive Reading Festival in the U.K., radio station sessions in Philadelphia and Salt Lake City, and a lunchtime performance won in a contest by Shorecrest High School near Seattle. Accompanying the package is a booklet with numerous photos and an essay by band compatriot Karl Koch, who reveals how the glorious "Tragic Girl" was recorded at the last minute but left undocumented, causing many to forget it's existence.

Three tracks stand out as very different from the others. "El Scorcho" has deadly guitar licks that remind me of some Doors song, maybe "Love Me Two Times" or "Moonlight Drive" or a hybrid of the two. In "Falling For You", we are clearly hearing from an older dude (Rivers?) infatuated with a younger girl: "There's rules about old goats like me/Hanging around with chicks like you...You say 'like' too much." The final track, "Butterfly" is soft, acoustic and rather mournful. I'm not sure, but it seems to be about a young guy regretting a sexual encounter, and the butterfly is a metaphor for the girl he "harmed": "Yesterday I went outside...Caught a lovely Butterfly/When I woke up today...She had withered all away...I'm sorry for what I did/I did what my body told me to/I didn't mean to do you harm...I told you I would return...But I ain't never coming back..."
Oh boy, did I hate it. I let the songs play in order, listened to it whole, and the only redeeming thing about were both the opening and closing tunes. I won't bother going on about what clicked about 'Tired of Sex' and 'Butterfly'; the point is that 80% of the album felt monotonous, aimless and downright horrendous. Whether it was its lyrical immaturity, its amateurish composition or something else, I couldn't tell what I hated more about it. I simply couldn't believe people listened to this unironically. It was so bad, I was deeply annoyed, as there was some expectation in me after all.
In fact, I was so annoyed, I listened to the whole album more than once just for the sake of complaining. You know how you sometimes disapprove of things you haven't really tried so far? Well, I know I do, but since I disliked 'Pinkerton' so damn much, I decided to be a fair person, and got around getting a whole bad review ready for it in case it was brought up in some situation.
So I'm listening once again, and I'm noticing some things. For instance, I noticed I like 'No other one' a little bit. I also notice 'El Scorcho' has a quirky little tone that I seem to dig. Okay. I listen again and again. I'm noticing 'Getcho' has a really cool chorus. I notice 'Why bother?'s last chorus has a really neat vocal play in it. I then notice I am getting used to the songs. I begin to remember their names, their structure, their order, even. I grow very familiar with the album.
I then notice I am helplessly in love with it.
'Pinkerton' is so criminally easy to hate that there is little reason to give it more than one first listen. Proof of this is its history if criticism; not just here and there, EVERYONE hated it when it first came out, and years had to pass before the same poeople suddenly fell for it. But since then, there are people out there to tell you to, for the love of Christ, give it a second (and maybe a third) chance, because you owe it to yourself; 'Pinkerton' is one of the masterpieces the gloomy 90's spawned, and their sweetest, crunchiest, loveliest, punkiest and rawest rock album since 'Nevermind'. Every song in it is as important and irreplaceable as the last one, and with time, you will sing to each and every one of them with all the joy of your heart.
