This is not a bait.
Pinkerton is just fucking awful.
People like this?
The only moments that don't physically hurt are Butterfly and the Good Life, and that's only because the rest of the album is fucking awful.
From the first line of the album I knew. I kept going out of morbid curiosity.
With lyrics like "Just want to admit that I want sugar in my tea, hear me, I want sugar in my tea," it became completely clear. Rivers Cuomo can't write a song to save his life.

agreed only the first 30 seconds of that album and its cover art are redeemable
>>61781130
>>61781177
having this opinion should be bannable imo
>>61781195
What is there to like about the album? Seriously.
I'm honestly curious.
>>61781130
>This is not a bait.
yeah maybe you shouldn't be analyzing english lyrics when you're both ESL and mentally retarded
>>61781130
if you prefer the blue album, you should go back to reddit.

The painfully honest lyrics backed by best power pop chords of all time,

Blue album master race
>>61781240
>uses painful to defend an album
>>61781300
Yeah that's the appeal. Rivers wrote some of the most revealing, almost embarrassing beta lyrics on Pinkerton that I relate to.
Are you implying El Scorcho isnt a god tier weezer track? Come on man
>>61781346
I think you mean cringe-worthy
>>61781365
Maybe, but we're arguing semantics at this point. There's no accounting for taste, have a good night friend.

Bad b8 m8 I r8 4/8. Tired of Sex, El Scorcho, Pink Tiangle, Across the Sea, The Good Life, and Why bother are all classics
>>61781443
meh. not the blue album/10
>>61781346
OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
So it's just a way for losers to get a degree of justification in their awful life. God, it makes so much sense now.
>>61781346

>>61781130
Completely agree
>>61781522
I'M BEAT, BEET RED, ASHAMED OF WHAAAATT I SAAIIIDDD
It's a great album for guys aged 16-20. After that age it starts to seem a little silly, I agree. Still a solid album, though. My enjoyment of the Blue Album hasn't decreased over the years, though.
>>61781130
El Scorcho is me and my waifu's song, kill yourself pleb.
>>61783212
>prescribing age limits to music
that's a very 18 year old thing to say
>>61783256
Man, you don't have to be a specific age to like any kind of music. That's not what I'm trying to say. I'm saying that, for a lot of guys on here, they found it when they were young and beta and sad about girls like Rivers was so they could identify with the lyrics really hard.
>>61781544
>not having a sad cum with rivers
pleb
Top three Weezer songs OAT:
1. Say It Ain't So
2. Tired of Sex
3. Surf Wax America
And OP doesn't like ToS.
Get the fuck out.
Weezer are literal dogshit. Absolutely terrible band made by awful people who are doing all they can to set back civilization.
Yeah. Weezer were never good. Basic bitch 90s rock over bad adolesence-obsessed lyrics that someone should promptly discard once they reach their the age of 18.
>>61781219
If you like any Weezer album, you should go back to reddit
>>61785442
>>61785531
>i listen to REAL adult music like Can and Talking Heads
>>61785592
If you legit don't like the Blue album you're a straight up pleb.
Disliking any other Weezer album is understandable but Blue? No.
Say It Ain't So is Weezer's only 10/10 track but it's still a 10/10 whether you like the band or not. Disliking an album with a undeniable 10/10 track is just broadcasting your pleb status.
Basically, get out.
Falling for You is objectively a good song.
>>61785631
shut the fuck up anon you listen to weezer
>>61785679
Ahaha you hate on good pop music because you think you're above it.
Keep outing yourself as pleb,
It only makes my dick harder.
>>61781130
Pinkerton is an aquired taste. Everyone thinks that the first few listens, even I did and it's now one of my all time favorites. You're not special, senpai.
>>61785631
>Say it ain't so is a 10/10
>>61785631
>Say it Ain't So
>10/10
>This is what Weezer fans actually believe.
It's one of their more tolerable tracks but 10/10? Did you just get into music a couple of months ago? It's 6/10 when I'm in a extremely good mood and it was barely 7.5/10 when I was an underage pleb who wasn't even into music that much. The Blue Album is their best but it's still insipid 90s rock you can get from nearly any other throwaway band during that time.
But I'll take your bait, what makes Say It Ain't So a 10/10?
Is it safe to say that Weezer is the most divisive band that gets discussed on here? For every thread I see talking about how great Blue or Pinkerton is I see another talking about how awful they are. I understand that Weezer aren't for everyone but in posts like these people seem genuinely insulted that someone else could possibly find their music enjoyable.

K, samefag.
Yes, Say It Ain't So is a 10/10.
It's got a classic riff, classic vocal. It's a staple by this point.
It's a 10/10 in that any music staple is. As backwards as it may sound, just listen to the radio. They might play a lot of shit, but the things that never leave rotation are classics. End of story.
What do you think constitutes a 10/10? And I'm not interested in hearing what shit indie band that you love is deserving of a 10/10 that only you enjoy. It has to be something even a pleb could get into. It has to be undeniable.
Only In Dream and The Angel And The One are their best songs tbqh
Greatest Man, The Angel and the One, Pig, Spider, King.
Red confirmed for QGOAT

>What do you think constitutes a 10/10?
I don't believe in 10/10. I don't think art can ever be perfect because it is humans that make it and humans are flawed creatures, therefore so is art. All I have for my 9/10's are classical (Stravinsky, Beethoven, Holst, Pendereckdi, etc) and 1 jazz record being A Love Supreme. Some of my 8/10 are popular music but that is beside the point
>It has to be something even a pleb could get into. It has to be undeniable.
This description of a 10/10 (assuming their is such a thing) is reductive because while some works of art can be easy to understand and digest while still being great, there are other great works of art that take time to analyze. Someone inexperienced with a medium of art shouldn't be the ones to judge it. Also, this world has different people with different outlooks so the quality of a work being "undeniable" is near impossible
>They might play a lot of shit, but the things that never leave rotation are classics. End of story.
Yes, they are classics. But that doesn't conclude that a work is flawless or near-flawless. If someone criticizes "Money" by Pink Floyd for dragging too long because of the solo overstaying its welcome, you may have differing views, but the criticism is no less valid or invalid if something DSOTM was never popular and no one knew what it was.
>It's got a classic riff, classic vocal. It's a staple by this point
I don't think that's grounds for a 10/10. There are plenty of songs on the radio right now with catchy riffs and catchy vocal hooks, yet I wouldn't give anything a 7/10, much less a 10/10. Catchy riffs and hooks can potentially make a good song, but they aren't one in the same. Advertisement jingles are catchy, but very few people would consider them good. Say it Ain't So may have a catchy riff and hook, but that's all it really has going for it. Otherwise, it's a fairly standard and quite boring alt rock song.

Them and people who are still mentally teenagers.
You're on 4chan. Guess who you're posting with?

I'm not interested in the discussion of absolute perfection in terms of a pop rock band.
My rating has nothing to do with how Weezer compares to every other artist on the planet. The 10/10 rating has more to do with it's specific cultural influence. It's a song that compares to other classic, continually celebrated tracks in pop music in North America.
Will it have the same influence in the long term as some more current musical innovators like say Philip Glass or Glenn Branca? No. But I'm not comparing Weezer to them. I think you took that rating as much more absolute than it was intended.
It's a song that if it didn't get a Billboard #1 it most definitely deserved it, and it's clearly culturally significant because it has withstood the test of time.

People get freaked out by how brutally honest it is. Sometimes they can't relate and just think it's silly. It's one of my favourites.
>>61785592
>I watch anime
>Yeah I like to criticize others music taste
>>61781365
That phrase, alongside >>>TUMBLR >>>REDDIT, is ruining actual discussion on /mu/.
>>61781544
You're not quite getting it though, the whole thing is underscored by the fact he knows he's being pathetic. Also
>Not falling in love with people you barely know
I think you might just be having a good life.
>>61785592
dumb weeb
yeah weezer are pretty awful and they seem to attract the lowest common denominator too. i only know like one or two cool weezer fans. shit music for shit people
>>61786205
If you don't believe in a Ten then your scale is out of 9. So your 9/9s are the same as what most people refer to as 10/10 because it doesn't imply perfect. Please rethink breathing.
>>61781240
Nah.
