It feels in the same world but opposite ends on the spectrum of quality. I see PD humourously, so I can pretend to be cool and like it in an ironic hipster kind of way. I think it's totally terrible in a great way. Beck well I've only listened to Colors, and I felt like it should go back to the late 80s where it belongs :| Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 Are they making us download and listen to this one in order to get the Black Album? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MicLima Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I got one as well. The only thing I've ordered from them was the Red deluxe when it came back in stock a little while ago. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I got the email too, but I did buy it from them. Said the vinyl was shipping soon, which is weird because something popped up on MyUSPS that I thought was it but apparently not. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Oblivions Posted October 27, 2017 Share Posted October 27, 2017 I think this summary from this Drowned in Sound review nails it: Quote Weezer albums are now well known for containing at least handful of hilarious calamities. But the real crimes on Pacific Daydream are songs which are so vague that they don’t inspire any reaction whatsoever. This is a new low. As abominable as acts of self-sabotage like ‘Beverly Hills’ and ‘Can’t Stop Partying’ were, they at least contained a sense of spectacle; our mouths agape at how Rivers could have the sheer nerve to piss on his reputation like this. The awfulness of this record is bound up in its sheer featurelessness. With at least half of these songs, there is almost nothing to say, nothing to be baffled by, nothing to argue about, and for that sad, whimpering reason, Pacific Daydream can probably be called Weezer’s worst album. And the Spin review is less succinct and serious but very funny: Quote The heavy reliance on reverb and drum machines mixed with Rivers’ blithe, empty lyrics paint an eerie picture of a band that studied pop music for years but never left the house.
