While we’re here: I know it’s the one they play the most off of and it has the song everyone associates them with, but I’ve revisited Bleed...
I don’t even think Clarity is even in my top five JEW records. It’s a great album, but these guys have the world’s most perfect discography.
I saw JEW in Tulsa on their Futures tour, and there was a girl singing loudly in my ear behind me, and she was the most tone deaf person ever. It...
I maintain this is how all rollouts should be. When you have months between a single and an album, you cool off on your excitement. I’d guess most...
I got my METN record in the mail yesterday and it is glorious.
I love both PD and Black, and prefer them to EWBAITE and White. I think they’re both fantastic road trip records, also (which is when I fell in...
“Hold Me,” “My Best Friend,” etc. Even “Freak Me Out,” which is about a spider he didn’t want to kill in his bathroom, was inspired by his time...
I think in general, Weezer albums that have a distinct, cohesive feel to them are far more forgivable when it comes to the individual songs. Say...
I don’t hate Love is the Answer, but In the Mall and Smart Girls are absolutely on the Weezer Mount Rushmore of awfulness.
For me, ‘Everybody Get Dangerous’ redefines what a bad Weezer song can be. It’s almost a parody of other bad Weezer songs, and sounds like they...
I could not be more in love with this song.
You said JEW and Weezer had a similar trajectory, and that it was start with a bang, take a dip, and then come back. You specifically said they...
Invented charted at 11 on the Billboard 200 and got favorable reviews from critics. Damage charted at 14 on the Billboard 200 and got favorable...
It’s entirely possible Invented is my favorite album ever. It’s my favorite album by JEW, and they’re definitely on my Mount Rushmore. I’m not...

I remember hearing ‘If You’re Wondering’ as the lead single and being so, SO excited about an album that sounded like that (and really, up to that...
I might just be biased because I had a dog for 14 years that looked EXACTLY like the dog on that cover. It makes me really happy every time I see it.
I feel like whenever the band does something other than just a variation of a band member picture, good things happen. Pinkerton, Maladroit,...
I think more than anything, Brian has said again and again that he hates the rock star ‘lifestyle.’ He hates doing press, and he hates playing to...
I literally giggled out loud, loud enough for my wife to hear me in another room.
PSA: the preshow was super fun. And I think the ones for Futures and Clarity will also be really worth getting in early for more so than today’s....
Don’t embarrass other bands by comparing them to Jimmy Eat World.
This performance is reaffirming that Surviving is a perfect record and Jimmy Eat World is a perfect band.
I will say this about the White Album: I struggle understanding how it’s so embraced and Pacific Daydream is seemingly universally panned (and,...
I’m not sure that even in the least generous reading of ‘Thank God For Girls,’ that it makes the top 25 of ‘Worst Sentiments About Women in Weezer...
