Re: Unpopular Music Opinions
I love a lot about that song, but I think the production and composition on Blue just doesn’t quite push most of the songs as far as I want them to go. That’s why I think Pinkerton is so much better. Pinkerton is a perfect album.Kevin Davis wrote:I'm a "The World Has Turned and Left Me Here" man myself.

Just given your other tastes and preferences and artistic sensibilities, this just feels like... not quite cognitive dissonance but something akin to it.LoathedVermin72 wrote:How come?durdencommatyler wrote:I can't wrap my brain around you making that post, LV.

Re: Unpopular Music Opinions
The few measures of drum and keyboard that kick off that album might be my favorite moment in Weezer's catalog. Warm and full sound...yet a little off. The album distinguishes itself from the rest of their catalog right then and there.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I love a lot about that song, but I think the production and composition on Blue just doesn’t quite push most of the songs as far as I want them to go.

Re: Unpopular Music Opinions
I like noisy music. Pinkerton is their noisiest album. I’m oversimplifying, of course, but that’s a huge part of why I gravitate to it.durdencommatyler wrote:Just given your other tastes and preferences and artistic sensibilities, this just feels like... not quite cognitive dissonance but something akin to it.LoathedVermin72 wrote:How come?durdencommatyler wrote:I can't wrap my brain around you making that post, LV.

Hey, I love it, too. I just never would have guessed that you liked it enough to call it a "perfect" album. But I'm glad you feel that way.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I like noisy music.

Re: Unpopular Music Opinions
It's such a great record. I went back to it a few months ago after a long time away from it and was blown away by how well it stands up. It's an all-timer.LoathedVermin72 wrote:I’ve always thought it was really good but I’ve been kinda obsessed with it for the last couple weeks. It’s amazing.durdencommatyler wrote:Hey, I love it, too.

That Antemasque album was way better than the new ATDI album.

I take severe umbrage to that sentiment, and I don't even think the ATDI album was that good.LoathedVermin72 wrote:That Antemasque album was way better than the new ATDI album.
Antemasque is like the worst album they did outside of Omar's 9 million solo ones and that piece of shit Amputechture.

Re: Unpopular Music Opinions
Antemasque is a fantastic rock record loaded with memorable hooks and energetic performances. It feels free and loose and fun. There's not a bad song in the bunch. It seems like the weight of expectation (and the glaring absence of Jim Ward) cast a pall over interalia that prevented it from being the burst of energy an ATDI album needs to be in order to work. They're trying too hard. Antemasque is just them playing and creating naturally, without catering to anything.
