highfives Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Looks like the preorders will be through PledgeMusic. http://www.pledgemusic.com/projects/weezer They're offering a new Fan Club with annual physical releases, personalized prints, and a bunch of other stuff.

marc32137 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 $28 is the ppd price, too. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bathroommonkey Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 the song isn't good enough to warrant a pre order from me. natenomm 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niblips Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 I keep getting an error with that link. EDIT - nvrmnd The only thing available to Canadian residents is download. Also, I love the cover. That painting has been making me laugh for months now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
marc32137 Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Considering the $38 LP/Poster set, but I'd be really disappointed if it's not of the cover art. I would love to have that framed. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kidamnesiac Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Yes Rivers, we want you to put the lightning bolt strap back on and get back to what made Weezer great, but we didn't need you to write an awful song about it.

TheGhostOfRandySavage Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 Whadya know, another Weezer album I won't be buying. Disappointing because I'd really love to be able to get into them again...that song blows though. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
AlexH. Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 2014 LOfuckingL at $18 for a CD.

Disappointing because I'd really love to be able to get into them again...that song blows though. I know talking shit about Weezer and wishing for another Blue Album/Pinkerton is probably the easy thing to do, but no other band has ever made me dislike them more each record than Weezer has. They just need to give up and move on to other projects, because obviously this band hasn't been an artistic vehicle for Rivers for more than a decade. toxicity and TheGhostOfRandySavage 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Vince Ives Posted July 21, 2014 Share Posted July 21, 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. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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?

stampface 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. funtitled 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Does Katy Perry need one too? If so who doesn't then? Isn't this the truth. Weezer really died when Matt Sharp left the band. I can't believe the band that made two of my favorite records of all time consistently puts out the shit they do. Its awful. I guess they are laughing all the way to the bank.

distinctlydustin Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 Yikes! That song is terrible, but I haven't liked anything from them since Pinkerton. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mattcrandall Posted July 22, 2014 Share Posted July 22, 2014 I'm probably just going to wait until it hits store shelves, but I think Back to the Shack is a perfectly acceptable lead-off single - Weezer has always picked the most radio friendly pop tune as the lead-off and have had a few gems here and there that never make it out in single form - I don't think we can judge the album direction by just this one track.

I can't believe the band that made two of my favorite records of all time consistently puts out the shit they do. Its awful. I guess they are laughing all the way to the bank. I'm glad someone else thinks this way. Everyone always mentions the whole Pinkerton flopping and Rivers not wanting to write personal lyrics. I've always thought Matt's departure hurt the aesthetic of the band just as much. And he has continued to make really good pop rock that isn't devoid of a soul.

tonyregret 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? Maladroit rips, lots of riffs and hooks. Green is also formulaic, but good pop/rock. Everything post-maladroit has been crap. romanos27 and niblips 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
