Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 38

Glad someone else said it. Crab is an instant skip every time lol

 

Make Believe is the worst album cover featuring the band

 

Mad how Raditude sucks but also has one of their best singles.

 

always thought it was weird that it wasn't the Black Album

 

Also The Prettiest Girl in the Whole Wide World as a bonus track

 

Songs I still go back to on Raditutde:

If You're Wondering
Can't Stop Partying (guilty pleasure, although I much prefer Rivers solo acoustic rendition far more)
Put Me Back Together
I Don't Want to Let You Go
Prettiest Girl

That's it.

 

I am having an absolute hoot that the Spotify art for Hurley is a picture of the entire cd case.

 

Prettiest Girl is a legitimately great song.

 

The actual CD has about that much effort put into it as well

 

I think I go back to more songs on Raditude than I do on Hurley.

Honestly, the only song I truly love on Hurley is Unspoken (imo, a Weezer classic). Other than that, I don't care for it at all. That said, the lows on Raditude, are far worse than the lows on Hurley.

 

Are they? Love Is the Answer and Can't Stop Partying are not that much worse than Smart Girls or Brave New World or Where's My Sex imo haha

 

Disagree, but that's okay. No single Weezer album is going to be a 10/10 for fans except Blue. That's almost the beauty of the band.

 

Sorry, I mean the packaging of the CD! Very bare bones, even for a band that historically doesn't have lyrics in their booklets

 

LOL I found a review of Raditude that I wrote for the newspaper that I worked for in 2009.

The News-Herald Blogs: Tuned in to Pop Culture: Weezer: Raditude

Think I did one for Hurley too, I'll try and find it.

 

Is the Hurley cover not supposed to include the cd case?

 

this is the cover art

 

cowards don't want to have it just show the picture of Jorge

 

Never seen the video before lol. And Pat on guitar??

 

God, if I could have a conversation with any living songwriter, I think it would be Rivers. There's just so much mythology behind this band. His brain fascinates me.

 

I first saw Weezer in 2010 and Pat played guitar for most of the set. Rivers barely played guitar at all

 

"Maybe I should play the lead guitar/
and Pat should play the drums."

 

They went through a phase during Rad/Hurley where Rivers wanted to jump around on trampolines instead of play guitar, so Pat picked up lead guitar and Josh Freese became this weird unofficial fifth member on drums.
