Weezer - OK Human (January 29, 2021) Album • Page 61

It's like I've been saying, swap Thank God For Girls with High As A Kite and Jacked Up with Mexican Fender and White instantly becomes a 10/10.

Again, not that those are bad songs, it's just Thank God For Girls belongs on Black and Jacked Up belongs on PD.

 

no shit. i tried to tell you but you were caping for hurley like a buffoon

 

jacked up is great and fits white, especially near the end

i would love to hear a sinclair-produced version of high as a kite. it’s a fine song as is but with the white album instrumentation it could have been great. same with mexican fender.

 

If we're fixing white with songs that were floating around then but not used til PD/black I don't hate the idea of Mexican Fender on it, but imagine swapping TGFG with this:

 

do you wanna get high is more out of place and worse than thank god for girls

 

My premise isn't so much any song that was floating around at that time, just in retrospect looking at the vibes of the three records, Jacked Up fits way more in with the songs on Pacific Daydream (when I first heard Feels Like Summer I immediately thought "oh, they're doing a whole album expanding on the Jacked Up sound") and Thank God For Girls fits way more on Black (it's a sonic cousin to Can't Knock the Hustle and Living In LA). Meanwhile, High As A Kite and Mexican Fender would fit right in amongst the tracks on White.

 

This is maybe your worst post in this thread

 

Hurley’s highs (outside of Jacked Up and LA) are better than White’s, I still think that

 

Summer Elaine and Drunk Dori alone is better than anything on Hurley, even Ruling Me

 

I don’t like that song very much

 

If thank god for girls had been on Black I would have actually listened to the record lol

 

When I listen to White a lotta times I sub in Friend Of A Friend for Jacked Up

 

Friend of a Friend is a solid song

 

The "Jacked Up" slander is unreal!

 

The slander is valid. It sounds closer to a Fitz and the Tantrums song than a Weezer song. Same problem I have with "La Mancha Screwjob" on Pacific Daydream

 

Jacked Up rules

I was so bummed that when I saw them on that tour that they swapped out Jacked Up with I Love the USA at my date

 

Jacked Up is at least top 3 on White, maybe my favorite.

 

Very true haha

 

Jacked Up is tops. Love it.

 

I’m going to firmly but respectfully ask you to retract this post

 

The only bad lyric on TGFG is the microwave/that really hurt line

 

Jacked Up is a really good song! It's not slander to say that it would sonically be more at home on Pacific Daydream, it's just stating a fact lol

 

Hate when rivers plays his piano in that song

 

Jacked Up is so good, melodically one of the best on the record for sure.

Yeah, I don't totally disagree with any of that*. I'm coming from the more cynical angle that PD and Black didn't need to exist, so taking the best couple songs that were saved for after White and sliding them back in to make it better would've been best possible outcome imo.

*Jacked Up to me feels more reasonably part of White than Thank God For Girls - to me, the piano makes it feel at home on the same record as Girl We Got a Good Thing.

 

Whaaaaat?
