Weezer - OK Human (January 29, 2021) Album • Page 41

Yeah I remember that, it was a freak accident though where iTunes accidentally put it up

 

yeah true

 

Foo Fighters and Hayley Williams were the biggest recent leaks I can think of. it's not as common as it used to be but def still happens

 

The new Fratellis album leaked several months ago but still isn't out. It was supposed to be released last year though but keeps getting pushed back by the label.

 

Take out Beverly Hills, We Are All On Drugs, and Best Friend and Make Believe is actually really great

 

I'd probably take out Hold Me as well but I can't entirely disagree with this take.

 

Take out Perfect Situation and add Blowin' My Stack and then we'll be in business

 

what the fuck

what the FUCK

 

I'm kidding, but idk about our friend bdJamesBondh

 

Y’all trippin, Pacific Daydream is crazy underrated and if the arrangements were more guitar rock it’d be a fave. The songwriting is sick

Mexican Fender bridge rules, very cool bVI chord.

Beach Boys chorus rules, and the bass part is some of my favorite Scott playing. Scott’s really good. Also this is the only dorian Weezer song I can think of

Feels Like Summer is so sad and bummery and “climbing up the tower just a boy and his computer” is one of my favorite RC lyrics

Happy Hour is like the sad paradise sequel to Island In The Sun and on a compositional level it’s up there with Here Comes My Girl and Hey Jeaousy when it comes to the perfect pairing of the lydian scale with a song of longing. I love how the music is always leaning forward, it complements the lyric so well

Also really love how he sings the lime and coconut line so much


not really feelin the qb blitz ice fields of hoth lyric tho

 

all good takes, except "QB Blitz" is fantastic and "Happy Hour" is, kinda, a bit bad

 

Just relistened to confirm and Pacific Daydream doesn't have bad songs, whole things an absolute bop

 

QB Blitz is great, but that line doesn’t sing well

 

I actually think Beach Boys is one of my least favorite choruses by them lol

It's so weird how this relatively simple band inspires such drastically different opinions

 

Here to agree with this. Perfect Situation through Peace is a solid run

 

i like all my favorite songs more than the bill and ted song

 

just hit play, anticipating this so much

 

Dammit you people have me revisiting Pacific Daydream - need to remember why I didn't care to remember anything about it.

 

Released in Australia (I'm not in Australia, just saying).

 

Numbers = New favorite Weezer song

 

"Numbers" is amazing, that chorus soars

this album is great, very idiosyncratic is promised. dunno if it's the first-listen jitters but some of it does feel underdeveloped, like it ends just when a bridge or another chorus could have taken it to the next level. like that sick orchestral breakdown on "La Brea Tar Pits" could have gone for a minute or more but they just cut it at 15 seconds, it's weird

probably the best-sounding Weezer album, though, and some seriously high highs. "Here Comes the Rain" is unbelievable, so are "Numbers" and "Dead Roses". can't wait to see how this album settles with time

 

!!!!
So pumped to hear this tonight!

 

already growing on second listen. the way this flows together as one 30-minute track rules. also the raw vocal take at the end of "Mirror Image" is like, absurdly affecting lol

 

Yeah this is pretty fantastic. Gorgeous arrangements and some of Rivers’ most vulnerable songwriting in a long time. Just let Jake Sinclair produce all their stuff going forward lol
