Excellent.
Wow.
That video is awful.
Youâd think Carrieâs could make something genuinely funny after her Portlandia work.
On a side note⊠Still selling that tee @JaguarPirate?
oh yeah man sorry, slipped my mind last night - will get back to you after my meeting

Still canât get used to the idea of Sleater Kinney without Janet Weiss which is a real shame. I probably need to get over it as the above song seems good on first listen.

had me trying to recall seeing K-Pop band BTS in the video before I realised it was short for âbehind the scenesâ (maybe this is why the band is called that). Ah well, what a crossover that would have been!

Some interesting bits in here
Going for a mature and tasteful direction
Path of Wellness, the first album Brownstein and Tucker produced themselves, takes cues from Sleater-Kinneyâs forebears in punk and classic rock. (Those still looking for more Carrie and St. Vincent lore can check out the forthcoming mockumentary The Nowhere Inn , which stars both.) The title track and opener serves jagged post-punk riffage and disorienting percussion; later, the chugging âMethodâ swaggers like â70s Alice Cooper, while âDown the Lineâ tries out the start-stop rhythms and âI know itâs all rightâ refrains of Led Zeppelinâs âDancing Days.â The songs are lean and tastefully executed; throughout the album, splashes of notes from bass, clavinet, and Fender Rhodes organ add hues without obscuring the primary colors of Tucker and Brownsteinâs guitar playing.
Seems like Carrie is more or less confirming what Janet said here
In 2019, Janet Weiss suggested that she had been shut out of decision-making processes in the band and that was why she left . Iâm curious how you feel about that characterization.
ï»żCB: I mean, anyone who thinks there arenât multiple perspectives and sides to this is either being willfully ignorant or perhaps lacks their own real-life experience. To be honest, Iâm not interested in continuing to talk about something that really seems to revel in female cattiness and conjecture and confirmation bias.
Corin suggesting sheâs not a massive fan of TCWH
CT: Weâd never really written with keyboards. We tried a lot of different things. Iâm not saying they were all successful, but it was different. We were able to take those new skills and put them to use on this new album.

The article wasnât wrong, very tastefully executed and completely forgettable.
This one is at least slightly better than the other.
Agreed, but for me itâs still something I donât think would grab me on its own merits if I didnât know the band. Bit worrying that these are the lead singles

They have made a lot of music that I love and dont wanna be negative so think I will tap out with new SK at this point.

It sounds like theyâve rolled back on the sound for The Center Wonât Hold but itâs not really got loads of life. I guess maybe the album will zing as a whole but Iâve rarely gone back to the TCWH beyond the lead single.
I mean I still massively enjoy Weezerâs Blue album and Iâm sure I still would even if theyâd put out any follow up albums even if they were all bad or dull.

difference being that i would never listen to a later era weezer album, i guess
Oh I thought thatâs basically what you were implying but also that it tarnished the early stuff

Another one that just sounds fine to me.
This review does mention it as one of the weaker songs:
