Weezer

[4/5]

My Name is Jonas is one of the most fun songs ever for me.

how is your foray into libertarianism going?

Wow, that feels like a 2009 question lol.

i associate you with the miami heat and wide-eyed wonderment at the joys of the absence of personal and institutional accountability

Da Vinci is the only song on the new album that I'd ever listen to again.

I know in the past Rivers was always a prolific writer. He'd write hundreds and hundreds of songs a year. I suppose after all these years he's just tapped out creatively, which explains the outside songwriters and how after Maladroit, Weezer albums kind of fell off a cliff for me.

[Jorge]

I kind of liked "The English Are Coming". Overall I thought the album was a big improvement on the last few. I just wish their songs felt visceral again, like Pinkerton was. But they're just not that band anymore.

I know in the past Rivers was always a prolific writer. He'd write hundreds and hundreds of songs a year.

The constant declarations about prolificity in the 1990's were so excrutiating. Like that reputation was something you had to have, in order to establish yourself as a "real artist." I think "we wrote 50 songs" was as frequent a boast as "it's our best record yet." Shit, Pearl Jam still does this horseshit.

Here's how you know that someone is actually writing hundreds of songs: some variation of either A or B.

I think if you're an artist, a musician, a photographer, and you're constantly at work on your craft, you know that in order to hone in on your best work, you have to constantly create and woodshed. In order to find that one amazing piece, its like you have to create a thousand and sift through the debris, and yes, you hear that from bands all the time. With Rivers, you always heard that he wrote hundreds and hundreds of songs a year. I wonder if that wears on a person's creativity? To be so prolific that the well runs dry, and you suddenly find yourself 20 years into a career cranking out the tried and true, with little imagination or spark. Sadly, that's the way I see everything since Green with these guys.

I like Blue, Pinkerton and most of Green. The rest is pretty dire.

Pinkerton




Blue









Most of Green






The Rest of Green














Everything else

[Norah]

Like Kevin Davis, Blue and Pinkerton are really the only ones I'll ever desire to listen to at this point. But Pinkerton is almost always the one I'd go to over Blue.

[Jorge]

Give Maladroit another chance. It's a really fun, raucous album, with some really good songs.

[Norah]

meh

[Jorge]

Do as I say.

[Norah]

The more you push the less likely I am to do it.

[Jorge]

I love this song.

[Norah]

That wasn't bad.

[Self]

Blue, Pinkerton, goddamn you half Japanese girls.

[Self]

After that, I'm lost.

Give Maladroit another chance. It's a really fun, raucous album, with some really good songs.

I think I just might. It's about time.

[Self]

Wait...Hash Pipe!

[Jorge]

I'm not saying Maladroit is up there with Blue or Pinkerton, but I really like it. It's loud, messy, very melodic and takes more chances than Green. You can tell they had fun writing and recording it.
