I think this flows really well:
01. The Angel and the One
02. California Kids
03. Eulogy for a Rock Band
04. Peace
05. Trainwrecks
06. Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori
07. The British Are Coming
08. Hang On
09. Foolish Father
10. Pig
(No Raditude either because fuck that album)

Rivers was on some podcast a while back where he described his songwriting process in depth. It's very...methodical? Basically he keeps a huge spreadsheet of riffs, chord progressions, and short lyrical phrases, organized by time signature, key, number of syllables, etc. When he needs a song he goes through and matches up the music with lyrics that fit the meter, even if the lyrics don't really fit together thematically. For guitar solos he hums and scats over the basic track until he finds something he likes, then figures out how to play it on guitar.
It's not totally crazy, but maybe explains why their recent stuff has been so hit and miss.

He talked at one point (and this is going back years to when they were good...I think while he was in school?) anyway, he said that he has a list of ten songs because that's what's going on an album. When he write a new song, if it's better than the worst of those ten songs it gets cut. I remember thinking at the time that it seems a wasteful process for a listener of Weezer music since that means there are a ton of songs that we'll never get to hear.guestT wrote:Rivers was on some podcast a while back where he described his songwriting process in depth.

Then as the Internet got bigger I was able to hear some of the leaked songs. Wugh.
