Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 63

I would be so happy if they changed it to Jared

 

It can only be Jared

 

Wow, this is only a week away.

the longest album rollout in history has almost reached its conclusion.

 

Imagine if you had to count that one down

 

The Offspring has them beat by a handful of years. They released Coming For You in 2015 and just released the album two weeks ago.

 

Chinese Democracy would like to have a word with both of you. Lol

 

Dr. Dre released 2 singles for Detox in 2011, we still haven't gotten the album...

 

Didn’t Detox become Compton?

 

chinese democracy is the worst album i've ever heard

 

Yeah for the most part it did

 

Starting a new listen-through of the discography. Yes, Pinkerton is still a masterpiece the 101st time you hear it

 

Kudos if you even made it all the way through. I’m pretty sure I listened to the title track to see what all the fuss was about , and after that I just had to stop.

 

i’m sorry y’all but the pixies were way better than weezer

 

Never could get into Pixies, just not my thing at all

 

(and the breeders are even better than the pixies)

 

Breeders rule

Classic Pixies had an all-time discog but their reunion has been absolute steaming dogshit

Weezer rule

Thanks for your time

 

Yeah I mean Pixies' original run almost inarguably beats out Weezer's, but I don't look forward to their music the way I still look forward to new Weezer.

And yes, the Breeders fuck.

 

Pixies are legends but Weezer's first two albums are up there with them.

 

doolittle is better than pinkerton and blue, surfer rosa is just below those two, bossa nova and trompe le monde are under maladroit and green and the post-reunion albums are, like, raditude-black-pacific daydream level

 

I think I'd take Blue over Doolittle personally but it's neck and neck, they're 10/10s

 

I think it's close enough to be matter of personal preference but yeah I stand by saying Weezer was overall better. Pixies did it first and have the effortless cool factor Weezer could (deliberately?) never compete with. But I think good Weezer took the formula and built on it. Rivers was a stronger lyricist at his peak imo and there isn't much in Pixies' discog that swings for the fences and connects the way Pinkerton does. Pixies take it on energy and Joey Santiago. Weezer takes it on songwriting (and sound - not that it's necessarily a fair differentiator, mid 90s generally smoke 88-92 production). (And yes I know the greatest sounding album of all time came out in 1991.)

I've been revisiting these albums a lot lately and I think Surfer Rosa, all time classic and on my own favorite albums of all time list, is slightly overrated. Bossanova is way underrated. Easily better than any 2000s Weezer and weight of impact aside I'd put it close to SR.

 

bossanova and trompe under maladroit? come the fuck on

 

i hate this weezer fan board

 

Lol

 

woah did anyone else notice that the Van Weezer album art on Apple Music is animated? v cool
