Gotta say I'm really looking forward to the new =w= album. I'm enjoying the new Rivers.

They are really pushing their luck with my allegiance at this stage.

[chutneyfarmer]

is it safe to say they've lost "it" at this stage?

 

[Anthony]

I don't think so.

 

[chutneyfarmer]

......I dunno. I'm just getting vibes that this is all going a little too far.

 

[Wheels]

Butt naked except for a pair of spectacles.

Not really no.

 

[Anthony]

A couple of the songs on this new album are old ones (actually I think weezer always dip into Rivers' demos) that are on Alone. Can't remember if it's 1 or 2.

Case in point. He wrote his best material when he was younger.

 

[Lili Marlene]

IMHO

Pink
Blue
Mala


Green is boring and has about 2 good songs.
Black is shit

Haven't heard Red or the new one but I hear Red is good?

 

[gugai]

Green was ok, but nothing's come close to the first two. NOT CLOSE AT ALL.

 

[GrumpyEditor]

I thought Weezer had just sold off their name to a bunch of lookalikes a few years ago.

Is that not true?

you really are a Glass half empty bloke aren't you.

maladroit had aged very well i think. it comes in after pinkerton and the first album. green is decent, but i played it to death at the time. the first half of the last one was good. theres about 3 good songs on make believe. the few new songs i've heard are not very good.

 

[Goodbye]

Not in the slightest, but if I never heard of Weezer and was discovering them now for the first time, considering what they are releasing now, I wouldn't give them the time of day.

BUT because I have a long term love of the band, I am willing to give them a chance. Having said that, the element of what endeared them to me in the first place is long gone.

As for the glass, its half empty... with tears from mourning.

Heard their new song. It sounds like it should be on the soundtrack to High School Musical.
