What were the radio singles from the album? I remember liking one of them, but none of the titles rings a bell…

Try CDNow or one of the other online record stores. You can listen to the first minute or so of all the tracks and see if any of them rings a bell.

The only one I recall was “The Good Life,” which I think was a damn good single.

Then again, I’m not a Weezer fan.

El Scorcho was it. I don’t think anything else was it, unless you were glued to your college radio back then.
