Weezer - Weezer (The Black Album) (March 1, 2019) Album • Page 70

my bad, didn't look at the comments on the article it was just the first thing I noticed haha. great write-up though!

 

My Black album ranking:

Byzantine
Too Many Thoughts in My Head
High as a Kite
Zombie Bastards
Can't Knock the Hustle
Living in LA
I'm Just Being Honest
Piece of Cake
The Prince Who Wanted Everything
California Snow

 

Your two favorites are my two least favorites lol
I also find it interesting that I'm Just Being Honest seems to be the clear favorite amongst the Spotify crowd. It currently has over 3x more plays that most of the other new songs.

 

I think Too Many is a least favourite among fans because of the lyrics more so, and lyrically, it's my least for that, too, but everything else about it I love and would consider Weezer-esque (and what I would hope for in a new album)! And I did notice I'm Just Being Honest is a top Black song for many!

 

Yeah same here. There’s some weak lyrics in Too Many, but I didn’t even notice the lyrics much at first tbh... musically it’s dope.

 

I used to say I liked Red more than Raditude, but honestly after running back through them again, Raditude might edge it out. Wondering, Put Me Back Together and I Don't Want To Let You Go are all lovely songs and even the poppier ones are at least fun. the lows on Red are just kinda depressing haha

 

I legitimately love like a third of Red and it's still EASILY their worst album to me.

 

The Greatest Man and Pork and Beans are all-timers for me, then Dreamin and The Angel and The One are pretty solid. The non-Rivers songs just don't quite hit the mark

 

EVERYBODY GET DANGEROUS

BOO-YAH

 

"Troublemaker" is a guilty pleasure"

 

Look, I like both these songs also. There is very little from Weezer I don't like, but they aren't like... top notch

 

The bridge of Everybody Get Dangerous is pretty sounding

 

I genuinely like Dangerous and Heart Songs.

 

for me, Heart Songs just barely steps over that line of cheesy more than I can handle

 

"Everybody Gets Dangerous" is the worst Weezer song. And considering "Love is the Answer" exists, that's saying something.

 

No no no, love is the answer is so much worse

 

boo

yah

 

Where's My Sex is worse

 

sex making is

a family tradi-shunnn

and people say Hurley is good

 

My high school punk band used to cover Where's My Sex, and let me tell you, midwestern parents think that song is hilarious.

 

Love Is The Answer is tied with In The Mall for worst as far as I'm concerned. That those songs exist with the few great songs that are on that album, it's a contender for the greatest gap between great to worst on an album.

 

I love Where's My Sex with all my heart lol

as if y'all don't wild the fuck out when that tempo change in the bridge hits

 

King is the best song from Red and it’s not even on the proper album

 

Im digging Black now. :)

I can play the album without skipping a song, and thats saying a lot :)

 

I just listened to Where's My Sex the other day...instrumentally the song is great, plug in some better lyrics and it's a banger.

As for Red, I don't find the non-Rivers songs as bad as everyone else. I actually really like Thought I Knew and the other two are fine.

And, as I always say, King is one of the best songs in their catalog.

There are FAR worse songs to be found on Raditude.
