Weezer - OK Human (January 29, 2021) Album • Page 60

well i mean are we ready to pivot to ranking pinkerton and associated bsides in here yet

 

Picking a ‘worst song’ from Blue, Pinkerton, Green and Maladroit is just so hard. All four are basically perfect in my mind, but more than that are absolutely linked to every nostalgia receptor in my mind since I was a teenager listening to all four.

Related: if Pinkerton was released in 2021, I wouldn’t give it a second listen because of the lyrics on it, so I guess I’d say Across the Sea is probably my least favorite now based on that. But when I was a junior in high school? That was my favorite song period, not just on the album.

I think I have complicated emotions with basically every Weezer album prior to 2010. It’s never simple, even though they’re my first favorite band.

 

1. "I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams"
2. all the others

done

 

The Pinkerton b-sides are so fucking good. Tragic Girl, Longtime Sunshine and You Gave Your Love To Me Softly would probably all crack my top 10 Weezer songs. Devotion and I Just Threw Out The Love Of My Dreams wouldn’t be far behind.

 

I’d feel comfortable putting Waiting On You in the top 5-10 Weezer tracks. “I asked you if you had a good heart / You answered yes I’ll never do you harm” is just something else.

 

You and me both man. One of the best ever.

 

“I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams” is better than anything on Pinkerton, and I’ve always been convinced they should have made Rachel Haden an official member.

 

when Rivers comes in with the backing yells on the final "HEEEE'S IN MY EYES, HEEEE'S IN MY EARS" >>> most music

 

Blue - Only in Dreams (No One Else)
Pinkerton - No Other One (Across the Sea)
Green - Island in the Sun (Simple Pages)
Maladroit - Death and Destruction (Space Rock)
Make Believe - Haunt You Every Day (The Other Way)
Red - Pork and Beans (Everybody Get Dangerous)
Raditude - If You're Wondering (Love is the Answer)
Hurley - Unspoken (Smart Girls)
EWBAITE - Ain't Got Nobody (I've Had It Up to Here)
White - Wind in Our Sail (Jacked Up)
Pacific Daydream - QB Blitz (Get Right)
Black - Byzantine (Too Many Thoughts in My Head)
OK Human - Numbers (Screens)

Only one that was truly difficult was Maladroit.

 

Your worsts on those albums are my bests or close to it haha

 

I don't feel like doing best/worst for all of the albums right now but I will say that I want to fight whoever say The Good Life was the worst song on Pinkerton

That's honestly probably my favorite Weezer song

 

It's wild to me this is a 90s demo

 

Kind of surprised at how many people don't like Screens on here.

 

Something had to be last. I like it haha

 

Could we not call Everything Happens for a Reason the worst?

 

When it comes to interludes I have trouble weighing those as full songs when I rank things, idk. But sure it def could be the "worst" haha

 

my test tube clear vinyl should be arriving today

 

yeah imo that is clearly one of the best

Across the Sea
Waiting On You
The Good Life
No Other One
El Scorcho
Devotion
I Just Threw Out the Love of My Dreams
Pink Triangle
Long Time Sunshine
Getting Up and Leaving
Tired of Sex
Why Bother?
You Gave Your Love to Me Softly
Falling For You
Butterfly
Getchoo
I Swear It’s True
Tragic Girl

 

pinkerton > blue, but blue b-sides > pinkerton b-sides

 

i feel literally the exact opposite lol - blue > pinkerton, but pinkerton + its bsides > blue + its bsides

Could convince me Susanne is the best Weezer song though

 

The blessing an the curse of Weezer

 

On my White relisten. TGFG would be bad on any album it's on, not just White.

 

I was wondering when we would get to the part or the thread where we rank besides but yeah Suzanne + Mykel and Carli are incredible. Perfect album with perfect songs left on the cutting room floor

 

White is really good, I take back what I said about it earlier in here. Whole thing is great besides TGFG. Easily their best post-Mal album. I'd call it my 5th favorite.

 

It's pretty cool though that at this point Weezer has 5 albums where it's actually effort for me to pick a least favorite track. And it's really close to 7 except White and EWBAITE it's easy for me.

But really for me, 7 Weezer albums that I can listen front to back and easily listen to anytime. Pretty happy with that.
