I don' think it's available in bundle form either if you try to check out with it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dapeebs Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The /500 still seems to be available in the $40 shirt bundle if anyone is still looking. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Oblivions Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Any hint of #FOMO I got from waking up at 7am and seeing the /500 was sold out was immediately erased when I pressed play on the new single. I'll see y'all at the promo buildup for the next Weezer album! jrodan 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
N8TRU Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I'm on the east coast so luckily I was at work when I got a YouTube notification for the new song and I knew to go straight to the webstore. Same scenario for Pacific Daydream preorders. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What blows my mind is that Rivers has always been so stressed about being "popular" and making music that does well commercially. Yet when they finally got a producer with a brain and went back to a more rock driven/pop rock sound with the White Album they get nominated for Rock Album of the Year at the Grammys!!!! Rivers - if you want to be considered cool - make more of that!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rivers - if you want to be considered cool - make more of that!! I view Rivers as a professional pop songwriter who was in a popular alt-rock band as a teenager. Except, instead of fading behind the scenes and professionally writing successful cookie cutter songs for Fall Out Boy and Maroon 5, etc., he performs and releases those songs using the same band name that his teenage nerd rock band used. I do think Green and Maladroit and some of Make Believe were born out of that 'detached songwriter' process but I feel that they were still sincere in trying to connect to what the band was. At some point, Rivers freed himself of that constraint of maintaining the Weezer identity and went full rogue. Unless the Black Album pulls an unexpected switcheroo, EWBAITE and White Album look like they'll go down as a weird aberration. EWBAITE is interesting because it was co-written by a bunch of different folks who played in decent rock bands in the 2000s and it doesn't really sound like 'classic Weezer' but it's fun and varied. And it sounds like White was the result of the producer nudging Rivers to squeeze out some Weezer-like rock songs and commit to a rock focused production style for the recordings. All I can think of is that, like the rest of the music industry (Grammy nom aside), Rivers probably feels like straight up alternative rock music is dead and he did what he wanted to do with it 20+ years ago. I lied about seeing y'all at the next record. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rhcp02 Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Ill wait for the bullmoose indie exclusive for $20. $30s a bit much for this band at this point. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 I remember reading an interview around the time of White that said EWBAITE and White were the result of Rivers not getting his way. You just have to accept that Rivers is one of the greatest alt-rock musicians of all time but he would rather make over-produced pop garbage.

ethanpricington Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 Somewhat off topic - i got tickets to see Weezer & Pixies next March in Tulsa. I then learned that Basement is supporting them as an opener. Truly excited about it Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
natenomm Posted November 21, 2018 Share Posted November 21, 2018 The album art would've been so much better if they were all in gimp suits. The music for "Zombie Bastards" also sounds like the kinda stuff they play in the background of a Tasty video. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
