circlingvultures Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 J.R. Hayes could(should) murder Rivers and take over vocals for them. Then I might give them a chance. That guy is such a wiener. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
kirbypuckett Posted August 6, 2010 Share Posted August 6, 2010 The first single "Memories" might be based on a demo from 2003. Dunno if that means it could be good or bad, but they've had that song on the back burner for awhile now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tonyregret Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 so instead of one awesome song maybe we'll get three. no hope for weezer to get better even with this move Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
xjustinxschwierx Posted August 7, 2010 Share Posted August 7, 2010 so instead of one awesome song maybe we'll get three. no hope for weezer to get better even with this move even if they've been hoarding good to great songs over the years, which has been the general rumor forever, they still have put out far too much garbage to be let off the hook easily.

xxmartinxx Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I never understood the appeal of this band. That "Pinkerton" album is terrible. Once in a while they'll have a catchy single, but overall I don't understand the nut riding. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

controlthebleeding Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I think this is a good move I feel that last 3 albums (make believe red and ratitude) sucked because they hated being on a Geffin and they were pressured to play a certain way so they made albums they could care less about just to run out the contract. I think moving to Epitaph is a great move and gives them the opportunity to go back to there roots and put out an awesome album the one we have all been waiting for since the green album. I guess it could go either way but I am looking foward to see how this pans out. this is exactly right. after pinkerton, they're sales slumped, fans were not happy with the more emotionally driven darker music. they wanted another happy blue album, so from then on, that's what they got. he even said it himself. everyone wanted the happy bubble-gum pop and that's what he's been giving them since then. Let's see if he actually is up to changing it up a bit now. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scottheisel Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 I'm totally loving this song! Rivers' vocals are insane on it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nickj Posted August 8, 2010 Share Posted August 8, 2010 well, on the one hand the song has some energy. on the other, the refrain is pretty dumb...even for post-1998 weezer Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mclz Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 I think the only song I heard from Ratitude was the "If You're Wondering What I'm Wondering" (or whatever it was called) single, which I thought was a pretty catchy song. I don't know why people didn't like it, it had somewhat of an old Weezer feel to it. Was the rest of the record like that or not? Kinda feel like they are just pushing out songs (but maybe the last 2 records were just to get out of their contract) cause 3 records in 2 years is a lot of a band like them.

I don't know why people didn't like it, it had somewhat of an old Weezer feel to it. Was the rest of the record like that or not? That was pretty much the only song on the record worth listening to. Also, Green Album still rules. People shouldn't lump it in with the newer stuff. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

bathroommonkey Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 Memories is really, really, good. I can already say this album will be better than the last three, I know that isn't saying a lot. I'm officially excited Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
burdenx Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 This might be the first Weezer album since Green that isn't worse than the previous one? We'll see. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
riddle350 Posted August 9, 2010 Share Posted August 9, 2010 the new single is enjoyable. I can't say it's amazing but fairly catchy and something I'd listen to again. Deffinetly the first single that's made me interested in hearing the rest of the album in a long time. I really don't care what label they are on. I just want the songs to be good.
