Weezer - SZNZ (March 20, June 21, September 22, December 21, 2022) Album • Page 29

Also, the end of ‘Wild at Heart’ on Spring definitely did not lead into Summer lol

 

i don’t think Jake produced this one. Maybe he’s involved in the big picture, but this one is credited to some jabroni called Robopop who co-write Hero and Suzy Shinn, who’s credited on Tidal for additional production and vocal production. The guitars def have that same tonal vibe as van weezer though

I dunno if im really feelin the drum sound here, but the rest sounds great to me

 

Guitars sound mostly good to me, but the vocals have some weird stuff going on

 

I’ve only listened once but the vibe kinda reminds me of the wily side of Red and Everything Will Be Alright In The End comingling with Van Weezer

 

This is where I’ve landed as well

 

I had my doubts at the beginning, but after Records this gets better with each track

 

I enjoy long stretches of this while listening but I’m having trouble remembering the melodies and hooks once I step away from it. Still not sure if these are good Weezer songs or interesting Rivers c-sides.

 

It's also only been out for a day lol

 

You can really argue that every song is better than the last

 

Interesting to me that most people seem to dislike Records, because it’s the most immediately catchy one to me. The prechorus (?) to Blue Like Jazz and the chorus of The Opposite of Me have also been rattling around in my head all day. That key change into the chorus of The Opposite of Me is *chef’s kiss*

 

The chain compression on records is just too distracting for me, otherwise it’s sufficiently catchy

 

Still in awe that "Blue Like Jazz" might as well be a fucking Chiodos song lmao

This is so good. Feels true to the band both musically and in how occasionally corny it is

 

man i fucking love this lol

 

put me on team spring > summer

 

Welp the boys did it again another perfect record 10/10 all weezer songs and albums are good

 

I've listened to Summer like, 20 times through now, and there are bits and pieces of every song that I like, but as a whole, it seems like each song is kind of all over the place and it's not really clicking with me overall.

I think Spring is a lot better.

 

Listening to something 20 times in 3 days when you don't love it is not something I understand lol

 

Yeah I've listened a similar number of times but that's because this is already one of my favorite Weezer albums haha

 

It's a 20 minute album, haha. And I never said I hated it. There are many things that I like about the album, but overall, I think many of the songs get lost as they go on (some of the breakdowns are truly bad - Good of Being Good, Cuomoville).

Also, as some of my favorite albums of all-time are albums I initially did not like at all for weeks or even months, I like to listen to albums when they come out over and over and over again to really make a judgement on it. I think it works a lot better than popping in on these forums at 12:45 a.m. on a Friday morning saying an album "sucks" or "this is not for me"

Weezer is also one of my favorite bands of all-time, so I think they deserve that attention.

 

Summer fell off hard for me. At first, it was cool to hear such committed, uninterrupted metal play but, after some time, I think this stuff is cool for 1-2 songs on a good guitar-focused Weezer album but too much for me here. I like the approach better than Spring by a mile but I’m still waiting for the next fun EWBAITE/White catchy guitar rock album from the Mayor of Cuomoville.

 

Again, "fell off" is a crazy thing to read when it's been out for less than a week lol

 

My post hasn’t even a been out for a few hours and you’re saying it’s a “crazy thing to read.” I wrote it and I still can’t even begin to unpack it’s true meaning (might never even get there tbh).

 

would be a great EP if it started with Blue Like Jazz and had good production imo. something about both Spring and Summer feels like Weezer-lite to me though, it's like half the songs are just filling a quota

recently fallen in love with "All This Love", though, so maybe there's hope!

 

It’s been pointed out how bad the drum production is and now I can’t un-hear it.

 

After just under a whole week of listening to this (very long time) I can safely say...

SZNZ: Summer still rocks.
