yes chef Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 New song is very forgettable. To their credit, the singles are usually not my favorites from the latest releases. whoa 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are these 40+ year old dad rock locals? Think 2008-2014 generic scene/metalcore bands and bands that give themselves nicknames like they're in Slipknot. Close enough though. Regardless the replies to Rivers' tweet seems like most people aren't amused. 4 minutes ago, Sad Heart said: Was going to order, but shipping is $14. That was the same with OK Human and Van Weezer and made the indie version an easy choice. I was hoping they'd stop overcharging for shipping by now.

Bronchitis Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 This new song sounds like something that would be in a Home Depot commercial advertising Father’s Day deals. MrScorpio 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
erousso Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 So is the vinyl preorder all 4 EPs on one LP or just the Spring one? If it's the latter than big yikes on the Feb 2023 ship date. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't see why Green should be lumped in with the rest of those, a solid top tier power pop album! Maladroit could also have been great but the production was a mess in the end. They should just go back in to the vaults from 2000-2005 and release the original (unedited and not fucked with) songs they were working on before Green (Summer Songs 2K) and up to the original 5th Album demos before they decided to go with Make Believe. They gave away so many amazing demos during that time that either got neutered in the final release versions (Superstar, Dope Nose, Slob etc) or just got dropped altogether (The Organ Player, Modern Dukes, Private Message, Prodigy Lover, 367, Mansion of Cardboard ect) in place of far inferior songs. The 5th album demos that added a keyboard player to all tracks are particularly good.

niblips Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 I've been listening to all the previous albums on streaming media this week at work in anticipation of this release (and the 3 to follow) and yeah, there are a few dud songs in there, but i'm glad he keeps punching out new music. To me it's better than nothing. There are many other bands i've followed for 30-35 years or more that rarely put out music, or have stopped altogether. I've pre-ordered. And i think the new single sounds good. It sounds like Weezer. Which is exactly what i want. Derek™ 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sad Heart Posted March 16, 2022 Share Posted March 16, 2022 Only this EP is recorded currently. They’re starting to write for the next one now. If they waited to press in a box set we’d be waiting til 2025. N8TRU 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

For me, it's just not as much. I whole-heartedly agree about the demos and the amount of material they either axed or completely embellished for no reason. Oh well, nothing that can be done now.

Weezer became a Greatest Hits band, imo. 😆 I feel like they take more of a "throw a buncha shit at the wall and see what sticks" approach to songwriting. Kind of like Green Day's trilogy, I really don't mind them releasing a lot of music. Not every song needs to be a huge hit to be enjoyable. Although I did enjoy Green Album, Make Believe, and Hurley to varying extents. I'll admit that I really haven't listened to a full album after EWBAITE. I prefer an album every year with maybe only one or two really good songs as opposed to the approach of 5 years in between every album, which could turn out with only one or two good songs anyway.
