Just signed back in here to say this is unbelievably sh*t
Not their worst album only by virtue of the fact itās not a full length album.
Iām so unsure as to what Iām missing here, these are just nice simple optimistic songs that arenāt being anything more ambitious than that. I donāt think Iāve ever looked to Weezer for anything more complex if Iām being honest.
Nice collection of upbeat Weezer songs with some Folksey and whimsical elements to go with spring theme and adds a little cohesion. Itās slight but itās first part of 4.
The heavy outro riff of the last songs sounds like that will link into the first song of the summer installment.
Gotta disagree there, I prefer my songs in-tune
I too pretend Pinkerton doesnāt exist.
Even Pinkerton, itās great but itās not like itās some super high-concept thing, itās just a different mood tied to Riversā really effective songwriting. The thing I like about Weezer is that theyāre direct, melodic, dopaminergic. I feel like this new stuff is absolutely in that ballpark too.
It sort of is though
Yeah I remembered that as I was typing it Whups. But itās not what I like about the record, and itās definitely no more of a concept record than four EPs about the seasons incorporating Vivaldiās work of the same name!
Basically anything conceptual with Weezer to me personally stands as secondary to the melodies and nice crunchy guitars, my enjoyment of them is pretty straightforward
(Also note that yes, I remembered it, and I still posted it anyway because why bother with deleting stuff lol)
The third best Weezer album is 20
White album was 2016 mate
No I said 3rd not close 4th m9 cheers
