    Things have changed.

    I don't care about falsetto, but how strained he sounds on "I'm all jacked up."

    we're all a bunch of weirdos on a quest to belong Prestigious

    If I haven't liked anything this band has done since the green album, is this album still worth checking out?

    This is better than Green IMO

    Album is pretty much the spiritual successor to Green, so yes.

    It's no different from his falsetto in "The Greatest Man Who Ever Lived"

    FUCKIN SAVAGES IN THAT FUCKIN BOX Prestigious

    Really good review. Glad you came around on the closer, time will tell but it could be my second favorite Weezer closer to "Only In Dreams." If I had to nitpick something I think "Summer Elaine" would've gone well right before the closer, but I love "Jacked Up" too. I'm not skipping anything at this point, not even "TGFG" as it's grown on me pretty well. I loved EWBAITE but now a lot of the lyrics feel really forced to me compared to this. This is exactly how Weezer should've made a pop record, it's too bad it took Rivers quite a few missteps to get here haha.

    This is like the Green Album if they had actually tried on the Green Album.

    A friend of mine said it's like an alternate reality if Pinkerton was well received right off the bat instead of shat on.

    Dumb lyrics but I like the tune.

    Glad you came around on "Endless Bummer." When I read your review, I was a bit disappointed because I always look forward to the final songs on any album I listen to. But when I heard the song, I was really surprised because I totally loved it. Solid acoustic jam. Still agree on "Jacked Up," though; I like the song alright but it's easily my least favorite on the album.

    It's way too late, or much too early Prestigious

    About to listen to this for the first time and I haven't read any reviews or anything about. Keeping hopes high.

    I have never liked anything I've heard from Weezer, but this is ok. Don't think I'll want to come back to it, but it's listenable.

    all we have is time

    Love this. "Jacked Up" is really great. I personally like this a lot more than EWBAITE.

    I think if you switch King of The World with Do You Wanna Get High? you have a case for one of the best side Bs with a weak side A in recent memory. L.A. Girlz is the clear standout to me along with Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori.

    Master of not knowing what the hell I'm doing.

    Love this. I didn't get into Weezer til the Red album cycle (I was just discovering music about then) so figured they were a band that had had their glory days behind them. But oh man, do I love this album. Made sure this was the first album I played on the awesome speaker system I got yesterday and I'm so glad I did.

    This is going to be this year's summer album for a lot of people.

    This was the first record I played on my new turntable, and it was definitely a good record to break it in with

    I love the chord change on the very last line of (Girl We Got A) Good Thing.

    I think this is the first Weezer album since Maladroit that doesn't have a painfully cringey line in it IMO
     
  23. Drewski

    Maybe so, maybe not.

    Hm, "Thank God For Girls" probably comes the closest?

    Who has my "Endless Bummer" guitar tab!?

    Love the quirky lyrics on "Thank god for girls".
