tonyregret Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'd get the artwork in flag form, but yeah, another poor track. I think since Green I've only dug Pork & Beans and a few tracks from Death to False Metal. Pork and Beans was a Pinkerton era idea that they brought back Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TFP Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 LOfuckingL at $18 for a CD. Rivers, this is not what people mean when they tell you they wish Weezer was more like they were in 1996. promotional tour where they only play in-stores at disused Sam Goody locations These. Also it blows my mind that a band like Weezer needs a 72 day pre-order with Pledgemusic to physically release an album. Does Katy Perry need one too? If so who doesn't then? Laughing so hard at these quotes... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm mixed on the single. Might as well just take the money I could spend on this and buy the MoFi Pinkerton/Blue Album. An excellent plan. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oh man that single was so bad. That was a pity listen, I won't be giving Weezer any more of my time haha Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

WalnutSoap Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 This thread basically asks whether I'm willing to bet $43 PPD on Weezer releasing an actually decent album. Unfortunately, my answer to that is no. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
noalarmplanet Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Oh man that single was so bad. That was a pity listen, I won't be giving Weezer any more of my time haha I always say the same thing and for some reason I hear some tone-deaf asshole friend tell me to give a chance cuz' "It's nothing like that terrible record before" and every fucking time they disappoint the shit out of me. Pinkerton is a record that has been tattooed on my soul so it's hard to see the joke they have become. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
funtitled Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Figured that there'd be no better place to ask this: Did y'all like Maladroit? yes. liked it more than green. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tonyfranciosa Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 kinda sad the best thing they've done since Green is basically a State Farm ad jingle in full song form. but advertising makes me sick to my stomach, so I can't even listen to this without cringing.

zeb_enjoys_vinyl Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 You have to give red album at least some credit though for going back to their roots after that shitstorm make believe niblips 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shelby Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Honestly didn't hate the red album. Never listened to anything off the two in between that and this new piece of shit though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
atarirec Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Maladroit was the last, great Weezer album... in my opinion. Had (somewhat) high hopes hearing Mr. Ocasek was involved... but after hearing that single off the new album... sigh. If only Rivers wrote more heartfelt stuff such as this one...

fought_piranhas Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Honestly, Weezer would have to do something pretty amazing to get me to spend money on another one of their albums. I have both Blue and Pinkerton but while there have been individual songs on the mid-career stuff that I've liked (and gotten singles for), I never listen to a full album. Too much filler, too many weaker pop songs. I love the cover for the new album but eh. Just not excited anymore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

museummouth Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 Granted for their last 4 albums the lead single has been the worst funtitled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobMckinley Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I feel like each Weezer album since Make Believe has had some oddly referential song in it's midst. It's sad because the actual music is decent in this track but my god.... these lyrics are awkward at best. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tom Delonge's UFO Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 I wrote a little article regarding the new song.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 23, 2014 Share Posted July 23, 2014 It just seems like most of what you add to any discussion is "Look at my blogggggggg, guys. I write about music!" I'm sure you're a fine person, your posts just annoy the shit out of me. No big deal.
