Weezer - OK Human (January 29, 2021) Album • Page 10

can't wait to go into a Weezer album without hearing half the songs as singles for the first time in forever

 

That’s awesome!

 

was browsing around on YouTube and stumbled across this:

Set from December 1996, three months after Pinkerton dropped. Wow.

 

So stoked for this, I have a really good feeling about this album. Hope this post ages well lol

I also really appreciated the statement that Van Weezer is still coming in May

 

I don’t even understand the hype behind this (or any) Weezer release. I like them as a band and all but they put out an album like every 6 months anyway and anything post Green album everyone likes half to 3/4 of the songs with 2-3 clunkers

 

I’m not sure if this is representing agreement or that someone can post and be so dense to not know the massive significant behind this new Weezer release?

 

They've never put out an album within six months of each other (outside of Teal, but that doesn't really count because it was a covers album). Only one time in their 26-year-career have they put out an album within a year of a previous release.

And there are a LOT of people in here who like more than half to 3/4 songs on Post-Green albums, myself included.

 

Also, to post in an album thread to question people's excitement about a band that people like 'half to 3/4s' of previous albums is just weird.

No offense, of course.

 

all offense, eat shit

 

take with the usual Weezer grain of salt but: apparently Rivers said on a Zoom chat that Sinclair is producing the next 3 albums (not counting OKH) and they've written some drafts for each album

absolutely fantastic news if it does happen

 

Haha ok ok...you’re right...my mistake...when perusing the Weezer message board it seemed like a common thread that a large portion of commenters indicated that the quantity sometimes was done at the sake of quality. The 6 months was a bit of an exaggeration but they do pump out new music at a very high volume. I was just wondering if there was something special attached to this album as opposed to any of the others?

 

Also was a weird statement because if I like half to 3/4 of the songs on an album, I probably like that album?

 

Aside from the fact that reception on the past fourish albums (excluding Teal) has been generally positive, at least more so than their late 00s/early 10s work? It's a largely orchestral album from Jake Sinclair, who produced the White Album, which seems to be a fan favorite here. Something different for them. Lots of reasons to be excited. Lots of folks with a nostalgic connection to this band that has only grown stronger with the last handful of albums, which is super cool to be a part of.

 

Nobody hates Weezer more than Weezer fans

 

and we're also the only ones who are allowed to hate Weezer

 

O ok very cool...White is definitely the best of their most recent work...thanks for the explanation and not just flinging profanity

 

No offense, but drink my blood

 

“Endless Bummer” forever

 

Song titles sound like bummers. Um - yes please?

 

Yeah I want this album to be sad as fuck

 

make me cry rivers, Rivers.

 

do we think this will be the closest thematically to pinkerton since?

 

Never have expectations for a weezer album

 

waiting to hear the single to make any sort of thoughts on the album at all
