Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 86

A) It was a joke
B) They're in their 27th year as a band releasing their 15th studio album. I don't think anyone is expecting them to give us something we haven't heard before. The literal point of this album was to make it sound like music we heard in the 70s & 80s.

 

and this album still FUCKS, SLAPS and RULES

 

When did Rivers write Love Is The Answer? Sure sounds like it came from Make Believe era to me

 

I watched Ronald McDonald's review of VW and he said Beginning Of The End sounds like it should be on the Green album

Uh what

 

The End of The Game would be an absolute killer setlist opener.

They won't tho.

 

Yes.

Love Is the Answer - Weezerpedia

 

It was on that Sugar Ray album in I think ‘09.

 

Hell yeah

 

i have the neon yellow

 

Over/Under Weezer releases 25 albums by the time they call it a career.

If SZNS really happens, that'll be 19 albums in 28 years.

 

It's so funny to see the band using the promo photo they originally shot for VW. Rivers now looks like a beat poet lol.

 

I'll say under, but also wouldn't be surprised if they approach 30.

 

Over

 

Also gonna say over. If they average a record a year before Rivers turns 60 and retires, they'll make it. SZNS would give them a huge jumpstart.

 

absolutely over

 

will oasis and weezer ever get inducted into the HOF though

 

I think over. And despite what he's said, I'm not convinced Rivers will actually allow himself to retire at 60.

 

The What's With These Homies Talking About Weezer podcast with producer Suzy Shinn is a cool behind the scenes listen on VW.

 

Yes and yes.

 

I am confused about the vinyl - which variant has the 2 bonus tracks? My local shop has the neon pink but it's only the standard tracklisting.

 

I want to say they're hidden tracks

 

They are. I have the neon pink and they're there. Pretty sure they're included on all variants.

 

Absolutely.

 

I think 10 more albums is a stretch even with 4 next year. I do anticipate at some point there will be a semi official retirement of the non-Rivers members and I don't think they keep the band name if more than one of them leaves.
