Thanks, it’s one of my favorites too. I could swear that my local store has it for retail (~$22?) give Park Ave cds in Orlando a call and maybe you can scratch that off your list

I saw a copy on recently for $45 on depop. i think it might still be up
 
 

Wholeheartedly agree! White album IMO was Rivers finally embracing Weezers past sound while still shaping that ‘quirky’  sound he’d been trying to perfect for over a decade on some of the tracks. 

Just realized Jake Sinclair produced it with the band...Guess what other album Jake did with the boys? 2016's white album, the last truly great Weezer album IMO. So if OK Human is another great Weezer installment, I'm all for starting a petition for Rivers to work exclusively with Jake on Weezer projects 😅

Definitely the most unique Weezer album since Pinkerton. Very different vibe. Love it so far. 

Dang. This isn’t “bad Weezer” but it’s totally not my bag. The single made me think it’d be Weezer but without the focus on guitars, more laid back, slight 70s pop vibes but, after the first 2-3 songs, which are a bit interesting, this becomes a more straight up homage to that older pop. If you dig the bands/songwriters referenced in the reviews, check this out. Rivers does a pretty sincere take on their stuff without injecting too much Weezer into it.

Just read the LA Times article/interview with Rivers concerning OK Human...and found this tidbit verrrryyyyy interesting lol: 
 
Besides, he’s got plenty to keep him busy, including a movie musical he’s working on about the life of the Buddha — it’s called, uh, “Buddha Superstar” — and two more Weezer albums after “Van Weezer.” The first, tentatively titled “Happy Chill,” is in the style of the band’s mellow 2001 single “Island in the Sun”; the other evokes Franz Ferdinand or the Clash, Cuomo says — “dance music, but it feels like a band.”
Looking even further, he’s beginning to imagine his first real solo record, which he describes with two unexpected words: “Barry” and “Manilow.”
Singing “All at Once” and another great Houston oldie, “Didn’t We Almost Have It All,” on Instagram in recent months got him wondering why nobody does songs like that anymore: complex, grand-scaled ballads that avoid neat four-chord progressions to summon a real sense of romantic abandon.
“And that’s when I thought of Barry Manilow,” he says. “I always loved Barry Manilow. I’d love to do what he does.”

Subscribed too! Looking forward to your content man!
 
Also this makes me wonder where @museummouth and his "Off The Record" channel went. Dude introduced me to same damn good tunes back in the day. 

Take that bet @marc32137 dude hasn’t had his right nut since 1994!

As much as I love those records I doubt that we will go after them but who knows. We’ve literally been working on this one since may of 2019. It’s been a slow and arduous process with the pandemic.

They are new plates we made with the universal masters. They weren’t remastered specifically for vinyl or anything like that (that’s a whole different league with dealing with majors) but the tests sound great!

@ethanpricingtonthank you! We've got a new vinyl video lined up for every Thursday.
 
On Mondays, I'll be sharing some old audio interviews from the podcast as well. 
 
I have a lot of videos shot already, but if you ever have any questions or videos you might wanna see, just let me know

got a clear hooray 

It’s Gold Rush Vinyl in Austin. Looking at their website now.
 
They talk a big game even stating on their homepage: “When you can order almost anything on-demand, you can’t wait months to get vinyl made-especially when you have tours and loyal fans to think about. That’s why we created Gold Rush Vinyl, named one of the Most Innovative Companies of 2020 for ‘revolutionizing vinyl production.’”
 
My guess is, since they were somewhat new to the vinyl pressing space, they weren't able to prepare/adapt as other bigger plants have to COVID and therefore their turnaround times have ballooned to 14-18 weeks according to their site.

EWBAITE- happy
White - happy
Pacific Daydream - very sad
Black Album - very sad minus High as a Kite which is a pretty dope song
OK Human - tentatively happy
Van Weezer - happy enough, seems like it’ll be fun and not too embarrassing

Nailed it.
