These guys again. How many albums is that now? 10? Oh, seriously, 10 albums? Well, good for them (him), I guess. There aren't many Mainstream Rock bands still going, especially on the power-pop end of things, and tune-wise they sure beat the Foo Fighters. More 'fun,' as they say. 'You don't have to take them too seriously,' they say. And yeah, it's obviously kinda silly to get worked up either way over Weezer, who remain what they've always been: mildly tuneful post-grunge power-pop. 'So what,' right. Rivers Cuomo seems like nothing short of a nice guy who's having fun with his hooks, and if he can keep it going this long and modest and make a living at it, more power to him.
None of which does anything to obscure what even this band's harshest critics rarely convey explicitly, which is that this music just plain Sounds Hideous, and always has.
Now, I'm not gonna pretend I've kept up with this band. The last Weezer album I'd heard was their previous self-titled record back in '08 (which is actually too far removed from ninth grade to feel comfortable admitting). And yet though I couldn't name anything they've done in the last several years, I do know that Weezer now have four self-titled albums distinguished by the color scheme of the cover. It's actually an ingenious marketing strategy: every six or seven years, put a bright color on a self-titled album to give old fans a jolt of nostalgia that implies bubblegum kicks to be had. The fact that the new 'white' album is the first I've heard since 2008's 'red' one presumably means I'm exactly the type of idiot who gets roped into 34 minutes of precious listening time by a band that literally color-codes its albums. The things I'll chase for a little bit of color.

how has this album not leaked yet?
They're the saddest band out there. To go from inspiring and forming hundreds and thousands of great bands and sounds to being total shitlords that have no influence and just crank out garbage.

Weezer has like 40 great songs. It's very impressive
>>63682047
he ripped off an RYM review
https://rateyourmusic.com/release/album/weezer/weezer__white_album_/
>>63683315
Not really. The Beatles had like 400
Ha...
This post comes in just the right time.
I got to listen to their blue album today (/mu/ told me it was their best, where else would I start) and I had to just stop listening to it after 10 min.
This is pure trash.
It's fucking awful.
>>63683369
What's trash about it?
>>63683391
The music.
Maybe it's just me and I can't understand the point of them.
It's not that it's simple, I don't mind that, it's just that it's boring to hell and back.
It just sounds like frat fart all over it.
>>63683447
>Maybe it's just me
Yes.
>>63683447
>The music.
No, specifically what's trash about the music?
>>63683447
You people must listen to music wrong. Why are you looking for a point? If it doesn't grab you and it doesn't sound good, then listen to something else.
It's like a bunch of robots in here. "can't understand the point of them." The fuck?
>>63683503
music is supposed to convey a feeling, even if youre just mindlessly listening to it
btw blue album is a masterpiece so re-listen
>>63682047
>weezer now have four self-titled albums distinguished by the color scheme of the cover
Yeah, all of them except this new one were out the last time you listened to them, are you trying to say this is something they've done since 2008?
>>63682047

Heh... not bad, kid. Not bad at all. Your meme, I mean. It's not bad. A good first attempt. It's plenty dank... I can tell it's got some thought behind it... lots of quotable material...
But memeing isn't all sunshine and rainbows, kid. You're skilled... that much I can tell. But do you have what it takes to be a Memester? To join those esteemed meme ranks? To call yourself a member of the Ruseman's Corps?
Memeing takes talent, that much is true. But more than that it takes heart. The world-class Memesters - I mean the big guys, like Johnny Hammersticks and Billy Kuahana - they're out there day and night, burning the midnight meme-oil, working tirelessly to craft that next big meme.
And you know what, kid? 99 times out of a hundred, that new meme fails. Someone dismisses it as bait, or says it's "tryhard," or ignores it as they copy/paste the latest shitpost copypasta dreamt up by those sorry excuses for cut-rate memers over at reddit. The Meme Game is rough, kid, and I don't just mean the one you just lost :^). It's a rough business, and for every artisan meme you craft in your meme bakery, some cocksucker at 9gag has a picture of a duck or some shit that a million different Johnny No-Names will attach a milion different captions to.
Chin up, kid. Don't get all mopey on me. You've got skill. You've got talent. You just need to show your drive.
See you on the boards...

whats wrong with using that term anon
>>63683339
the beatles were together for 40 years
>>63683315
But there's only 20 songs when you combine Pinkerton and Blue.
>>63684065
They have some amazing B-sides and rarities. Legitimately objectively amazing
>>63684162
So that's another ten songs.
Still 10 or so short of 40.
>>63684208
There are at least 20 great B-sides
>>63684372
Name them
>>63683447
Listen to Pinkerton instead, it's better and more emotionally involving.

>>63684586
Half of these aren't b-sides though
>>63684776
they aren't on main release albums. Not sure what you would call that
>tfw gf and I broke up last night
What are the best Weezer break up songs?
>>63684792
Why discuss something if you don't understand it?
>>63684820
I can't really think of any. All Weezer songs are about

if you want to research and then split and tag all these classic =w= songs into their correct genres, God bless enjoy that.
I'll enjoy listening to over 40 great-to-amazing =w= songs.
>>63684871
>if you want to research...
Why should I? You made the initial (incorrect) claim. The burden of proof is on you.
>I'll enjoy listening to over 40 great-to-amazing =w= songs
Not possible since there's only about 30.
>>63684856
That's pretty true lol. Guess I'll just keep listening to Modern Baseball.
