[Forever.Zero]

Are these from the Red Album?
I haven't got around to listening to it yet

[RickShankshaw]

No. These are from their next album coming in October. They're embarrassingly bad. Warn everyone you know. That or just laugh at how bad this is.

[briewer]

What the fuck happened to these guys?

[Dr. Acula]

Much expected. This band went right down the shitter when Matt Sharp left.

[xhandgunxheart]

this is absolutely terrible

[thespearkid]

why do you always hurt me, rivers?

[The Personist]

Is this some kind of sick joke?

[GuitarR0cker1]

Weezer what the fuck happened to you?

[liar23]

hahaha oh my.

[thespearkid]

and the titles are just as retarded as the songs.

[The Personist]

Really? Really? The titles aren't as bad as the songs, dude.

[thespearkid]

they're equally terrible.

[TakeLotsWithAlcohol]

Musically, the songs remind me of the Green album. But the lyrics make this horrible.

[Deezlink]

oh wow

I didn't know it could be that bad.

[briewer]

Weezer what the fuck happened to you?
You're stealing my thunder.

[Machu505]

Downward spiral of the century.

[deanster321]

On first listen the only one that's anywhere near being that bad, to me, is Can't Stop Partying. The others are ok.

[jbaseball44]

These have got to be a joke. What the fuck happened

[fightoffyrdmns]

I was expecting the hate to be a little much.

Holy shit, this is just bad.

[Chris Reynolds]

I haven't payed much attention to Weezer for the past...ever, really. But from hearing some songs here and there, then this? Damn, what happened?


Oh, and:

Wooooooaaaahhhhhh-OOOOOO-ooooaaaaahhhhhhOOOOOOOhhhhh



haha

[zion the lion]

I was having a good disco moment and I paused it to listen to this. That whooooahhhoooahhhohh-ign really did ruin my groovy mood.

[SwiftSilentDead]

:yawn:

[TheFallOfMike]

Seriously, Weezer need to find the magic formula they had for the first two albums again. All this album sounds like so far is lyrics about partying and backing vocals that consist of "woah" and nothing else. I'm just praying they can release another Blue Album/Pinkerton sometime soon.

[murrich]

So much better than their earlier work.

[Regards]

Are you sure this isn't Brand New's newer work?

I think what they need is the exact opposite of themselves replicating the albums. Thats what they've been trying to do, but its so insincere. What was great about Blue and Pinkerton is how sincere they are, which is completely lost now.

[Paulb-182]

oh my..

There was no magic formula in 1994 and 1996, merely a pathetic, desolated, obsessive dork who enjoyed Powerpop and the girls he could never had. Pinkerton was such a fantastic album due in part to Rivers' need for catharsis. His songs were so candid and honest in their pathetic pseudo-stalkerish romanticism.

Look at El Scorcho, for example: Boy wants girl, boy gets rejected, boy mocks girl for her lack of appreciation for a "cool band," boy, in spite, reads her diary, boy has daydreams of married life with girl, including wanting her to keep his finernails clean, boy watches mid '90s independant hardcore wrestlers dive through press-tables - it's the banal minutia of the person we want but can't have in a scenario we've all experienced at some point or another, but it's never written about because it's the further thing from "sexy" or "rock 'n roll."

Pinkerton was Rivers most honest and personal project. Cuomo was immensely forthwright and sincere about falling in love and craving the ability to turn a lesbian straight or his machismo-anthem about having too much sex with strangers when he just wants love (even more pathetic when noted that the sex wasn't happening). Yet critics initially panned the album and fans hardly bought it. The follow-up to their auspicious debut LP was considered a critical and commercial flop and due to how personal a project it was for the titular songwriter, he took the rejection to heart, which lead to the band going on hiatus for over four years and transitioning their sound to mindless powerpop without the cleverness or personality that Rivers interjected in the second album. Hell, even the compostions became less "Cheap Trick-by-way-of-The Feelies" and more "contemporary Fountains-of-Wayne."

Its called Matt Sharp.

I wish the Rentals were better.

[xhandgunxheart]

I wish the Rentals were better.
I wish Weezer was better.

Yeah, reading my post again, it did seem like a kind of stupid comment. I guess what I was trying to say was that I wish they could release an album on a par with the quality of the Blue Album or Pinkerton, as both were incredible and got me into Weezer's music in the first place.

[Kid B]

I wish Weezer was better.
I think that any music fan is obligated to feel the same.

[ThisIsNotDan]

this makes most of the songs on the Red Album sound serious. good god I'm not even sure if I want to hear these

[Losing Streak]

Why would a loving God allow this?
