Weezer - Van Weezer (May 7, 2021) Album • Page 48

and my heart

 

Do we know if Beginning Of The End is on Van Weezer? I really love that song.

 

It will be, but apparently it will be a different edit than the one used for the Bill and Ted soundtrack.

 

Feel free to disagree, but I feel like so far we have 4 specific "eras" of Weezer and hopefully are entering the 5th

First era: Blue & Pinkerton
Second era: Green, Maladroit, Make Believe
Third era: Red, Raditude, Hurley
Fourth era: EWBAITE, White, Pacific, Black
Fifth era: OK, Van

I could hear an argument for Make Believe being in the third, but the height of their popularity with Bev Hills and Keep Fishing makes me feel like it's era 2

I could also hear an argument for EWBAITE being third instead of fourth since White, Pacific and Black are all so similar.

 

make believe is in the third, PD and Black are their own era separate and apart from the quality run of EWBAITE and White

 

You can never convince me that PD and Black are a different era than White, those three are tied together closer than any other three albums in their entire discog, PD and Black are basically re-hashes of White done worse. Eras aren't about quality, you can have a disaster and a masterpiece in the same era.

 

The White Album and The Black Album share very little in common, but Pacific Daydream, the in-between album, shares a whole lot with both of them. So they are connected in that way, and I would say part of the same era.

 

I didn't even realize I posted this in the Van Weezer thread instead of OK Human. Doesn't really matter, but it's funny having two threads going concurrently

 

hmm sounds like a similar trajectory as a certain other band hmm

 

I actually can't figure out what you're referring to

 

lot of full diapers in the jimmy eat world thread because I said they've had a similar trajectory to this band. who knew comparing two bands I love would provoke such salty behavior lol.

 

people say stuff like this all the time and it honestly makes no sense to me whatsoever. PD and Black are nothing like White at all.

 

Isn’t whining about being wrong in a totally unrelated thread a better example of diaper filling

 

yes

 

That's pretty funny. I haven't seen your post but I would make arguments for

- pre Clarity
- Clarity (feels weird, but maybe by itself, I dunno_
- Bleed, Futures, Chase
- Invented, Damage
- Integrity, Surviving

so I guess depending where you put Clarity, that's 4 eras also

 

I honestly don't know how you can't hear it. I mean, even just visually looking at the track list, High As A Kite, living in LA, Byzantine and California Snow all wouldn't be out of place on White. I don't remember other songs by name though. PD, almost everything fits

 

Yeah definitely not. Jacked Up and Thank God For Girls are the only songs on White that sound remotely like PD or Black, respectively, and despite them being good songs they also feel way out of place amongst the rest of White. The album as a whole is a throwback to their old sound. PD is trying to be some kind of contemporary millennial pop album and I don’t even know what Black is trying to be.

High As A Kite and Mexican Fender I could see on White. None of the other tracks fit. In fact, replacing Jacked Up and Thank God For Girls with those two songs would make White even better.

 

Forget the hypotheticals, you had it right the first time

 

Mexican Fender was written during White

I don’t think the rest of PD sounds like White, but it feels like its opposite number. Those two are very much a pair to me

 

Excited this is only like a little over a month away

 

Lol

 

Idk about you guys but this rollout went by really fast for me.

 

blink and you woulda missed it

 

Still not fully convinced this is actually coming out May 7

 

Still haven’t even received my OK Human vinyl that I ordered two months ago...
