Calling Pacific Daydream and Black Album "unlistenable" is silly, "Happy Hour," "QB blitz," and "Byzantine" would all like a word
plus "I'm Just Being Honest" and "Any Friend of Diane's" are bops. but yeah you could definitely combine the best of both albums into one stonker
I love all the songs on this playlist i really didnt like pacific daydream until i really really liked it. a couple times summer i listened to it while i took streets from the beach to downtown at night and it was real dreamy
PD is bad but I like Mexican Fender and Weekend Woman, the latter especially. Any song that reworks something they wrote 20 years ago is generally gonna get a pass from me, either out of nostalgia or just Rivers being that good then. Cautiously optimistic about this, it's probably going to be bad but the demo releases made me believe Rivers can still write good songs and just chooses to release bad ones so we'll see.
This is true, what if 1/29 is just the first single and the album comes out in like six months and then Van Weezer comes out in like 2023?
I’m going to take one for the team and listen to their entire discography today while working. I’ll report back how much I hate Raditude later.
As someone who doesn't follow Weezer THAT closely but still love them, this was a total shock and I am here for it.
might do the same. i think i’m hitting the point of the solo beatles discography where continuing is untenable
The White Album is their third classic record, and if Ecce Homo came out instead of EWBAITE I believe it would be right up there. PD and Black both have some really cool songs on them. Far better than Red, Raditude or Hurley imo.
Feel like Pacific Daydream parallels Make Believe in a lot of ways, I grew up on MB and really came around to appreciate PD but wouldn't be surprised if the same people who dislike one dislike the other as well. Not sure if that makes sense. Both I think are a little more authentic than they get credit for and are dismissed for grabbing at a certain kind of mainstream radio sound at the time they were released.
