There was a good review that talked about how Rivers can’t resist the comfortable distance of ironic detachment and cheese, even when making his mature, personal ‘masterpiece’ record. I read like 10 in a row and can’t remember which magazine it was from. If he were to ever record a sincere, honest record, even if it was still silly and fun, sans the 70s pop affectation but with the same reliance on piano and strings over electric guitar, I think he could retire with an absolute adult banger under his belt. This feels like a decent Weezer album from an alternate dimension where their music aged with the members and kept experimenting and not the gem from that different reality.

String arrangements over beats don’t create a masterpiece 🤷♂️ kjkenney 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Album isn’t out til the 12th (physically). So they probably have just printed labels so far, getting them ready to ship. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marc32137 Posted February 11, 2021 Share Posted February 11, 2021 Just got shipping email for the splatter from Fingerprints. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
unravelled Posted February 12, 2021 Share Posted February 12, 2021 Really enjoying this record all the way through. IMO this is top tier weezer w blue, pink, green, maladroit, and EWBAITE. White just misses the cut. Crazy that my two favorite albums over the last 12 months, OK Human and My Morning Jacket's the Waterfall II, may not have ever seen the light of day if not for COVID.

Man, white is comfortably peak Weezer for me. Admit I'm certainly in the minority but I absolutely adore that album 🤍 Kjm23 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

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

My copy did not ship from Zia and I got an email from them saying that they did not get the allotment that they expected but that they should be getting more soon. So, I went to a local Newbury Comics who indicated there was a wider delay with this release and that a large majority of the indie splatter copies were pulled or not shipped because of production or sound issues. Take it for what it is worth, but this makes more sense than the near total lack of in store availability for a new Weezer record.

I listened to White again after my post and would have to agree w you. Officially bumped White to unravelled's top tier Weezer albums!!

Oblivions Posted February 18, 2021 Share Posted February 18, 2021 I revise my previous review after scanning Pacific Daydream and Black album again. OK Human sounds almost identical to several songs on both those albums, just without the annoying production choices and embarrassing electro flourishes. The soft, pleasant melodies and less guitar focused makeup has been on their last 3 records and OK Human is just way less immature/obnoxious in execution. EWBAITE/White album was a nice renaissance before whatever this is now. Looking forward to dumb fun with Van Weezer. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

axisrecapital Posted February 19, 2021 Share Posted February 19, 2021 Yeah, the White album is f'n fantastic. Hard to find a bad song on that album. Even better, the track listing is spot on. There is not one song that is worth skipping...just a great record all around. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
