stl_ben Posted January 14, 2016 Author Share Posted January 14, 2016 Red is so under rated. Over the last year it has probably been the most spun in my house. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
museummouth Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Blue - perfect. Pinkerton - perfect. Green - good. Maladroit - good. Make Believe - great Red - crap. Ratitude - crap. Hurley - meh Death - crap. Everything - very good. darkforest71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dvv Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm on the "blue and pinkerton are the only albums that matter" boat Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cantdance Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Blue - perfect. Pinkerton - perfect. Green - good. Maladroit - good. Make Believe - beyond crap. Red - crap. Ratitude - crap. Hurley - crap. Death - crap. Everything - very good. This. But Make Believe is not nearly as offensive as Raditude. I just don't even know where to start with that goddamn album. Red's bonus tracks were all so much better than anything on the album imo. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 This. But Make Believe is not nearly as offensive as Raditude. I just don't even know where to start with that goddamn album. Red's bonus tracks were all so much better than anything on the album imo. Red's b sides were alright. Not really good enough for me to go out of my way to listen to though. I just want to queue an album and play it start to finish. Seems I can really only do that with their first 4 albums, and the latest. But if I'm going to listen to Weezer it's going to be Blue and Pinkerton. I would have to be on an all day Weezer kick to get to Green and Maladroit. I try to ignore all the crap and take it is as them trying to run out their contract with Geffen so they could get out of it, but I can't believe it took them like 15 years to put out a good album again, since the first album they put out after Guffey was good. It also being an apology from the band to the fans, and writing about what we wanted all along. cantdance 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JacobMckinley Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I think the argument could be made that Maladroit is a perfectly executed summary of their first three records. darkforest71 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

darkforest71 Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm a personal huge fan of everything up to Make Believe. The rest of the records aren't too great, excepting EWBAITE. I saw them on that small club tour where they played the record in its entirety and it was an incredible show. Anyway that album had some potential for me so I hope the new album we get eventually is pretty good. I agree though, Do You Wanna Get High was great. TGFG was embarrassing.

DecayToDeath Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Apparently Thank God For Girls was recorded in the same sessions/around the same time as Hurley, and I didn't like it at first either, but it grew on me for sure with repeated listens.

drewberinger Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 the only weezer albums i fuck with are blue pinkerton maladroit red and the last one they put out Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
aju2streets Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I honestly prefer Thank God For Girls to Do You Wanna Get High. It's what I expect from Weezer at this point and it's still different enough than anything they've done. I still listen to it and I haven't listened to DYWGH in a few months. Sure the lyrics are bad but they crossed the point where bad becomes funny (which is a good thing in this case) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bladewillisisdead Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Rivers hasn't cared in 20 years and neither should anyone else. He basically admitted that when Pinkerton flopped he decided to stop putting any emotion or heart into his songs and was just going to try to write top 40 rock "hits" Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 "Our new self titled album will be out on April 1st (this is not a joke), and we’re going on tour this summer (this is also not a joke). This album was inspired by my experiences hanging around the Westside of Los Angeles, which has been our home since Weezer began. Hanging out with people in Venice and Santa Monica, the beach, the Hare Krishnas, the Sikh on roller blades with the guitar, girls on Tinder within a 4 mile radius, seeing other bands, etc. I would just tweet out "does anybody wanna hang?" and then I'd get together with people who responded and talk about life. I love California. I wanted the album to have a Beach Boys sort of vibe to make you feel like you were there with us SoCal weirdos even if you're in Milwaukee in December. We will be playing a few album release shows in March and April, and then hitting the road for 2 months starting in June. Look out for the Weezer and Panic! At The Disco Summer Tour 2016 with special guest Andrew McMahon in the Wilderness." Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sad Heart Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Yeah, I'm digging the song, and that's good foreshadowing considering its a single. And since I really liked their last album I pulled the trigger. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aju2streets Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 I'm digging the new single and I'm happy that TGFG and DYWGH are both on the album but I'm still not convinced that $27.50 is worth it just cause its a tricolor. I'll wait for the amazon pre-order Duff 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

unknown pleasures Posted January 15, 2016 Share Posted January 15, 2016 Does anyone know if they're going to make a note when the tri-color is gone, or are you just taking your chances and you may get it but could end up with white? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
