DecayToDeath Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 I'm beginning to like Jacked Up, but I can never see it being my favorite. It's so fundamentally different and out of place on the album in my eyes. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boops_popmarket Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Jacked Up is a top 2 for me. It's not "trademark Weezer" but it's fun and the one that I keep singing in my head after Endless Bummer wraps up. The only song I don't like much is (Girl We Got) A Good Thing. It sounds like every mid-tempo jaunty piano song that has ever been proficiently written in a major label recording studio and (as far as I know) it's not on the soundtrack to an early 2000s Ben Stiller romantic comedy so I'm wondering why it even exists.

museummouth Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Anyone else think Jacked Up would be even better if the piano was guitar and it had a reggae feel to it? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

II.But seriously, Jacked Up is one the best Weezer songs in a long time. I love it just the way it is, especially Rivers' voice. rabbitclock 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's Rivers taking influence from Brian Wilson, or, at least, that was my perception. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 Also, for anyone using the go to 'Weezer went downhill after Matt Sharp' excuse, Sharp said himself that Weezer would have sounded the same if he stayed. Just throwing that out there. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
ethanpricington Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 So crazy the polarizing opinions on this album!!! So let me weigh in! Lol Personally I'm in love with White album. But maybe thats bcuz i didnt truly start listening to Weezer until Make Believe era. So I'm not, what some who were in their late-teens-to-20s in 1994, what you would call a Weezer elitist. . Really liked EWBAITE, but it lacked those laid back melodies that, not until recently, I came to love from Blue album. White album, to me, is so happy and just an all around fun listen. And it'd been a long time since I was able to say that after listening to any Weezer record. And "Do You Wanna Get High?" satisfied my need for a Pinkerton-esque track so thats just a plus. 9/10 IMO.

Sad Heart Posted April 4, 2016 Share Posted April 4, 2016 The same as they became or the same as they were? The same as what they became and what that material would have sounded like with Sharp. I'll dig up the source for the quote. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

TheLegendOfMidna Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 Quick Pinkerton question: Is the RM on the 4 LP edition the same as the Mobile Fidelity Sound Lab one? Just got the RM Blue and love it so I want to continue the streak. Also, do either of the Pinkertons come in that thick sleeve like Blue?

The MoFi Pinkerton comes in the same packaging "thick sleeve" that Blue comes in. The 4LP has pretty delicate packaging. The records are held in book-like gatefold- It's not very study (at least not mine.) The records are all 180-gram which is nice. It's worth it for the B-Sides and extra content.

Halo 2 Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 this album is ok 100% agree with this, it's very vanilla Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
boops_popmarket Posted April 8, 2016 Share Posted April 8, 2016 I bought the 4xLP Pinkerton and the MoFi, and then I sold the original album record from the 4xLp set for like $12 on Discogs. So, now I have a Frankenstein Mo-Fi Pinkerton with the 3 bonus LPs. If you have the time and energy, I would recommend this hybrid version.

ximperfectx Posted April 14, 2016 Share Posted April 14, 2016 Aside from the official Weezer webstore, does anyone know where I can get a copy of this on white? I listened to it today for the first time, and ended up listening to it 3 times in total. Way better than I expected. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stl_ben Posted April 14, 2016 Author Share Posted April 14, 2016 I believe only the store has white. Everywhere else is basic black. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
