While we’re on the subject, ‘Bleed American’ might be the best opener on any album. Not just JEW. It’s at least on a very, very short list....
This has always been my favorite of theirs. I think it brings together what they do best, and ends up being their biggest, most grandiose work. I...
There’s a random band called the Classic Crime I love a whole lot who put a slow, short song first on their album ‘The Silver Cord.’ Their...
I have a weird gap in music in my life where I missed a ton of bands from like 2002-2010 or so. So for me, until about 2011 or so, JEW was that...
I couldn’t be more excited.
Song Bed Head? Album Million Masks of God?
2.18.21
Soft and quiet and pensive Andy is my favorite Andy. I love this song so damn much.
Also it’s a little thing, but that font is so cool. I need that plastered all over a record cover immediately.
I don’t know if this is the best band on earth. But I do know I can’t think of a better one.
If the Million Masks of God isn’t the name of the next album, they need to change whatever the name of the next album is to the Million Masks of God.
Also I don’t know if someone said it or not but Jeeze. My main takeaway from this is how good Tom sounded. Blister, all the various backing vocals...
Goodbye Sky Harbor was worth the price of all three shows.
I love when musicians I love talk about musicians I love.
Honestly it’s more amazing they released it. 1999 was rap rock and nu metal and ska and pop punk. I love Clarity as an adult, but when I was 15 in...
Days like his surprise me - JEW and ManOrch are both doing live shows today. And I’m significantly more excited for Manchester Orchestra. Which...
There hasn’t been any announcement.
Honestly, I’ve read people claiming to know things say different things. I don’t think the band has said anything other than Friday at 8 ET.
To your point: there was a lot of talk in this space recently about how the band is hopeful for the next album to get new fans and grow the base....
Jimmy Eat World’s Clarity, followed by Manchester Orchestra’s Black Mile? That’s a pretty solid night of live music for this Friday.
I think Weezer is wildly influential. Every pop punk band has also said they loved them also, and even older bands from the early 00s cite them. I...
Related to nothing at all: Maladroit is a perfect album and should be revered like Pinkerton and Blue. Hell, it’s better than Pinkerton in my...
Didn’t Thank God for Girls have a crazy video with a guy eating a cannoli? I feel like I remember that being big before the album came out. Maybe...
I think this is probably true in a lot of cases. I saw Motion City Soundtrack when they were touring for Go or Panic Stations (I cant remember...
I also think Weezer contributes to their own anonymity too. You can find them playing massive shows on YouTube and they play stuff from Blue,...
