Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 84

Today I listened to pacific daydream and had a good time - I love all their records except raditude

 

PD is a good listen front to back. Mexican Fender is an underrated jam.

 

Something I thought about, and I guess Teal would count towards this if you're counting a streak, has a band had more consecutive albums with the same band lineup?

 

omg

 

If you don’t count Teal, they’re tied with U2, at 14. If you do, they’re one ahead.

There are probably other bands with lengthy streaks and one lineup, but that’s the one that occurred to me.

Green Day are at 13.

 

Next year they’re gonna really take a solid lead eh?

 

Green Day was an obvious one I forgot, duh haha

 

The Rolling Stones are at like, 20 years at least

Edit: but that's length of band makeup, not number of albums

 

Not the same members outside of Greg and Jay, but Bad Religion has been a band for 40 years and have 17 studio albums (couple of the band members say 18 for some reason). I find that super impressive for a punk band.

NOFX has 11(?) consecutive albums with the same line up. Soon to be 12, I believe. That one is weird.

 

All 13 albums for 311.

 

Just listened to The White album. Yeah, it’s a pretty special album and deserves high praise and rankings for an album this late in their career. It’s basically everything I love about ETWBAITE, but leaned out. It’s just missing riffage that I prefer.

I LOVE Wind In Our Sail, Do You Want To Get High, and King Of The World.

I need this on vinyl.

 

Wind In Our Sail is the GOAT on that record

 

nah it’s california kids but they’re both 10/10

 

it's actually King of The World but they're all cool so whatever

 

No, it’s clearly Jacked Up

 

How did Rivers make Jacked Up sound the way it is but also make it so good?

 

If Sinclair had produced Pacific Daydream it would sound more like Jacked Up and be a better album for it.

 

The weird thing is that Jake was basically Butch’s apprentice from 2009 to 2013 or so, and he totally does a Butch Walker-style production job on White. But yes, Pacific Daydream would be much better if it had been produced in the style of The White Album.

 

Haha, that’s a great comment! I feel like it can be applied to lots of Weezer songs

 

yupppp

 

suzy was jake's apprentice too. kinda cool production "coaching tree"

 

That’s awesome, I didn’t know that.

 

yeah, she engineered a bunch of the albums he produced before producing on her own

 

yeah her interview on WWTHTAW was interesting. Laughed at her story about Rivers looking at her and then looking back at Jake

 

Very cool. And cool of Weezer to take notice of the engineers and build those relationships. I think one of Jake’s first engineering credits was “If You’re Wondering...”
